The court found the guilty plea valid under required safeguards and lawfully recorded the conviction; the sentence of 14 days imprisonment from date of arrest and RM2000 fine (six months default) falls within statutory limits under Section 342 and is proportionate considering seriousness and deterrent needs; the application for stay of execution was refused because the defence failed to demonstrate special or exceptional circumstances.
