The court held that section 294 CPC applies to the offence under section 39A(1) DDA because the offence is non‑serious (maximum five years) and, on the facts — early guilty plea, first offender, demonstrable remorse and rehabilitative prospects — a good behaviour bond is an appropriate alternative to immediate imprisonment; accordingly the accused was convicted, bound over under s294 CPC for 3 years with RM5,000 bond and one surety for the s39A(1) count and fined RM1,500 (default 3 months imprisonment) with 2 years supervision for the s15(1) count.
