The High Court upheld the s.385 conviction because the prosecution proved the appellant, a police officer, intentionally put the complainants in fear (threat of exposure and referral to Pejabat Agama) to dishonestly obtain money (RM300) and his conduct and surrounding circumstances corroborated the charge; the rape charge was unsafe due to lack of proof of penetration and absence of unusually convincing testimony; the sentence was increased from 3 to 5 years because the appellant abused his police position and public interest required harsher punishment.
