    Given the non-violent nature of the repeated but limited dissemination to a single individual, the accused's early guilty plea, first-offender status, youth, difficult family background and absence of reoffending since charge, a fine is proportionate and imprisonment is unwarranted; imposed RM2,000 per count (8 counts) totalling RM16,000 with default custody 3 months per count (aggregate 24 months) and ordered forfeiture of exhibits P8 and P9 to the Malaysian Communications Commission.
