The High Court exercised its revisionary jurisdiction and found the 3-month imprisonment sentence manifestly excessive in the context of the MCO, applicants' mitigation and public health considerations; the imprisonment was substituted with a compulsory attendance order under s 5(1) Offenders Compulsory Attendance Act 1954 for 3 months (4 hours daily) with a bond of RM500 with one surety and weekly reporting to the local police to balance public interest and individual hardship.
