The court convicted the accused under s.31(1)(a) Child Act 2001 and, applying established sentencing principles, held that because the charge did not allege causing death and having balanced aggravating factors against significant mitigation (guilty plea, advanced age, first offender, serious illness, remand), the sentence of 1 day imprisonment, RM15,000 fine (15 months if unpaid) and a two-year bond with RM1,000 surety was appropriate and not manifestly inadequate.
