    The court accepted the accused's unreserved guilty plea, weighed mitigating factors (first offence, plea, cooperation, health, family dependants, low means) against aggravating factors and public interest, concluded that a rehabilitative non-custodial order better serves public interest than immediate imprisonment or imposing the statutory minimum fine, and accordingly convicted the accused and imposed a 2-year bond under s294 CPC with one surety and RM5,000 bail, and ordered payment of assessed duty RM5,177.60 with 6 months imprisonment in default.
