    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.
