AsiaOne - 4 June 2012 |
The verb convicted is followed by of, not for: convicted of the offence.
In the next highlighted text in purple, the two clauses joined by or are unequal i.e. "shall be punished with a fine not exceeding $2,000" is a verb phrase and "to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years" is a prepositional phrase. One possible rephrase is: A person convicted of the offence faces a fine not exceeding $2,000 or a jail term not exceeding three years.
The phrase exceeding to 3 years seems wrong with to: exceeding three years.
The last bit in green is problematic. I would rephrase it as: shall be liable to caning, subject to Criminal Procedure Code 2010. The phrasal verb subjected to is often used in the passive: The victim was subjected to torture both mentally and physically.
