Conviction is upheld because the accused voluntarily pleaded guilty and the exhibits proved each element of the offence; the sentence of 4 months imprisonment and fine RM2000 (2 months imprisonment if fine unpaid) is appropriate after balancing mitigating factors (age, remorse, guilty plea) against aggravating factors (use of a dangerous weapon, multiple targeted blows to head/neck/shoulder, serious injury) and the public interest in deterrence, and is well within the statutory maximum under s.324.
