Shawn Colin Doss A/l Arputhan Doss

Accused's guilty plea and supporting prosecution evidence established the elements of robbery under Section 392 KK; guilty plea warranted mitigation but was outweighed by the accused's concurrent/successive offending and public interest; under Section 292(1) KTJ the sentence must commence after completion of the prior sentence, resulting in a 2-year imprisonment term and 3 strokes of the cane to run after the prior 3-year sentence.
