Prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant, as solicitor/agent, was entrusted with RM525,538.80 via three cheques and dishonestly retained/misappropriated those funds; documentary and bank evidence admissible and credible; defence evidence was afterthought, not credible and failed to raise reasonable doubt; therefore conviction under s409 Penal Code upheld and appropriate sentence imposed (8 years imprisonment and RM50,000 fine).
