    The court accepted the child victim's sworn testimony as competent, credible and sufficient under ss.17 and 18 Akta 792, corroborated by medical findings and supporting witnesses; defence alibi and interested witness testimony were unreliable; thus elements of sexual assault under s.14(a) Akta 792 and rape under s.376(2)(f) Kanun Keseksaan were proved beyond reasonable doubt, warranting conviction and the sentencing orders made (concurrent imprisonment terms, caning as per statutes, compensation, rehabilitative counselling and police supervision).
