    Given the accused's history of five prior convictions under s15(1)(a) and the statutory scheme under s39C(1) ADB 1952 that mandates heavier punishment for repeat offenders, the court held that a custodial sentence of six years, two strokes of the cane and two years police supervision is proportionate, lawful and necessary for deterrence despite the accused's health issues and early plea.
