Magistrate accepted that offences were not 'serious' under s52B, that mandatory imprisonment language in Customs Act did not preclude exercise of discretion under s294, and on balance of public interest, offender's first‑time status, low value of goods and guilty plea imposed a two‑year bond with RM3,000 surety for the Customs charge and a RM2,000 fine (or 2 months' imprisonment if unpaid) for the Excise charge.
