1. You pleaded guilty to two charges, being burglary and failing to surrender. You are, however, only 19 years old and therefore section 109A of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance applies, meaning that imprisonment should be the last resort. That was why the court called for various reports before sentencing. I have read the reports. I think we have not come to the stage of imprisonment yet. I think I believe you still have a chance of rehabilitation, and I am going to give you that chance.
