The court convicted the accused under Section 15(1)(a) ADB 1952 because the prosecution proved identity of the sample and presence of methamphetamine by admissible laboratory evidence and the accused's unsupported allegation of bottle swap amounted to a bare denial insufficient to raise reasonable doubt; within statutory limits the court exercised discretion to impose a RM4000 fine (default 7 months imprisonment) and two years supervision under Section 38B as a proportionate sentence given mitigation and public interest considerations.
