    RA-84-40-09/2024 (Mahkamah Majistret)

    Court accepted the unconditional guilty plea, found the facts and exhibits proved the offence under s14(b) Akta 792, and imposed a two-year Good Behaviour Bond under s91(1)(b) Akta Kanak-kanak with RM1000 surety plus mandatory JKM reporting and attendance at JKM workshops under s93(1)(a) and s93(1)(b), balancing public interest and deterrence with the offender's age, first-offence status, learning disability and strong family support to prioritise rehabilitation over institutionalisation.
