Hi Chai-On

"FRS3 ...
FRS3 states that a prior period adjustment is required to correct a
fundamental error or change in accounting policy. A fundamental error is
classified as an error which is so significant that the truth and
fairness of the financial statements is not achieved."

Depreciating by 40% in the 4th year would not be "true and fair" and
does not maintain the principal of depreciation in proportion to
revenue.
