Chan Sin v. PP [1949] MLJ 106.

Facts of the case:

Police received information that a Chinese man was in possession of firearms. When they raided a house in the village, a Chinese man in his late 50's (58) ran out of his house with a gun. He was arrested, and an identification parade was conducted to identify him. 

There were 8 persons in the parade -

  • 3 Malays
  • 1 Sikh 
  • 1 Chinese woman
  • 1 Chinese man 10 years younger than the accused
  • 1 Chinese man 16 years younger than the accused

Somewhat similiar, yes?
