The Eastern Court has adjourned sentencing for a police telecommunications chief engineer who cheated the government out of nearly HK$2 million in housing loans and allowances.

Wong Chun-kau earlier admitted he had lied by claiming he was single to get the allowances, and pleaded guilty to using a false document with intent to deceive his principal.

His lawyer has asked for a non-custodial sentence. He told the court that the 58-year-old was under great personal and professional stress around the time he committed the offence.
