Accused pleaded guilty to being in Malaysia without valid travel documents contrary to Section 6(1)(c) Immigration Act 1959/63; given the rampancy of illegal entry and public interest in deterrence, the court exercised discretion to impose a custodial sentence of four months rather than a fine, finding that mitigation did not outweigh need for deterrence.
