MUHAMMAD NAJIB BIN IDRIS

Prosecution evidence (positive in‑court identification corroborated by kawad cam/CCTV and recovery of the stolen phone and matching clothing at accused's residence) proved both elements of robbery under s392 KK (theft and immediate fear) beyond reasonable doubt; accused's sworn denial was an uncorroborated bare denial and afterthought that failed to raise reasonable doubt; accordingly convicted under s392 and sentenced.
