Concurrent findings by Sessions Court and High Court that complainant and corroborating witness were credible and that prosecution proved elements of s354 were supported by evidence and not open to disturbance on appeal; absence of CCTV or incomplete CRT recording did not amount to suppression or nullity given explanations and long-hand notes; appellate court may increase sentence where prior sentence is manifestly low—hence conviction affirmed and sentence enhanced to one year imprisonment with a fine of RM8,000 (in default 8 months).
