    Court accepted the guilty plea, weighed public interest and gravity of trafficking a child against significant mitigation (advanced age, serious health issues, first offender, early plea and remorse) and held that a custodial sentence was not appropriate; imposed a two‑year good behaviour bond with RM15,000 surety under Section 294 CPC with reporting and passport conditions as an alternative to imprisonment.

    Given accused's plea, first‑offender status, remorse, cooperation, personal and employment circumstances and authoritative sentencing principles favoring rehabilitation, the court exercised its discretion under Section 294 Criminal Procedure Code to impose a two‑year good behaviour bond with RM7,500 bail and one Malaysian surety rather than immediate imprisonment for the offence under Section 45A(1) Road Transport Act 1987 (Amendment 2020).
