Applications dismissed: applicants failed to discharge burden to prove whipping provisions unconstitutional under Art 5(1) and Art 8(1); no admissible medical evidence established causal link between whipping and Zaidi's death or that whipping would risk the applicants' lives; impugned provisions are post‑Merdeka and survive Art 4(1) review; statutory safeguards and proportionality satisfy constitutional requirements; Art 8(2) challenge fails.
