Accused's early guilty plea and personal mitigation warranted credit but were outweighed by the planned nature of the theft, the vulnerability and loss suffered by an elderly victim and public interest in deterrence; accordingly conviction under s.379 read with s.34 is upheld and a fine of RM12,000 with default 8 months imprisonment is proportionate and lawful.

Given the significant scale and value of the theft (RM22,167.67; 950 kg of cable), the extensive prior convictions of OKT1 (multiple similar offences within a short period), absence of effective mitigation and the need for public protection and deterrence, the court declined to afford a substantial guilty-plea discount and imposed immediate custodial sentences and fines as appropriate.
