Filipina fined for alcohol possession
By Amie PDH IshakA Filipino woman was yesterday fined B$750, or to serve a month in prison in default, in the Bandar Seri Begawan Magistrate's Court after being charged with possession of uncustomed goods.
Macapil Huqueriza Lina, 40, who resides in Kg Katok, Jln Muara and works as a tailor, was found with 24 cans of Tiger beer and one bottle of Premium XXX Tequila Gold when Customs preventive personnel raided her rented room after receiving a call from Immigration Enforcement officers on July 29.
After further investigations, the defendant admitted that all the alcohol belonged to her friend.
The defendant was, however, unable to locate the purported owner of the alcohol and failed to produce valid Customs clearance forms for the drinks.
The estimated total value of the alcohol is $58, and all the goods were to be forfeited to the state.
