Summary

Leung Wai Kin (D3) appealed against his sentence of 4½ years' imprisonment for conspiracy to traffic in dangerous drugs. The case involved methamphetamine trafficking orchestrated by 'Joe Sir', with D3 serving as a driver and storer of drugs. The Court of Appeal reduced the sentence to 3 years and 9 months, finding the sentencing judge had given insufficient discount for D3's limited role and terminal cancer diagnosis.
