ONG MUI SIA

The court convicted on s375(g)/376(1) because the prosecution proved all essential elements beyond reasonable doubt: the child complainant gave clear, consistent, credible sworn testimony of penetration corroborated by medical findings of a partial hymenal tear and investigative evidence; defects in particulars and omissions of tertiary evidence did not prejudice the accused; defence denial and alleged motives were afterthoughts and did not raise reasonable doubt.
