Section 39C(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 is mandatory where its antecedent conditions are met; the court lacked discretion to impose less than five years' imprisonment. Given the appellant's repeated convictions and ongoing drug involvement, the appropriate sentence under the statute is five years' imprisonment, one stroke of whipping and a two-year supervision order to commence after completion of the sentence; the sentence was ordered to take effect from 11/3/2026.
