    The court imposed 7 years imprisonment and a RM30,000 fine (in default 6 months) after balancing public interest and deterrence against mitigating factors; the accused's position of trust, repeated commission of CBT and concurrent money laundering conviction justified a heavy sentence despite remorse and a guilty plea, and the sentence was ordered to run concurrently with existing imprisonment.

    The court convicted the defendant on his guilty plea and imposed a sentence of 12 months imprisonment and 2 strokes under Sections 395/397 Kanun Keseksaan, to run concurrently with the sentence he was already serving. The sentence balanced public interest and the seriousness of an armed group robbery with mitigation: early plea, first offender status, youth, family responsibilities, absence of serious injury to the victim and lack of a victim impact statement; thus a moderate custodial term plus limited corporal punishment was proportionate and sufficient for deterrence and rehabilitation.
