The total value of the masks is $648, with each pack valued at $12.

Koh’s case has been adjourned and she is expected to be back in court for a further mention of her case on May 6.

She is out on bail of $10,000.

If convicted of illegally obtaining personal information, she may be jailed for up to three years, or fined up to $10,000, or both.

If convicted on the cheating charge, she may be jailed for up to 10 years and fined.
