    BL-42H-2-08/2020 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

    Appeal partly allowed: the High Court found the trial judge placed undue emphasis on evidence of serious injury and facts exceeding the charge of causing pain to the body, making the custodial sentence manifestly excessive; therefore the five-year imprisonment was set aside and substituted with a fine of RM20,000 (or 12 months imprisonment if unpaid) while retaining a three-year good behaviour bond of RM10,000 with one surety.
