The High Court held that the Magistrate did not err: the charge under s.41(1) was not inherently duplicitous when read in the Malay statutory text, but the prosecution evidence (witness testimony and CCTV) did not establish a prima facie case for s.41(1); the Magistrate properly amended and proceeded under s.43(1), and the conviction and sentence under s.43(1) were upheld.
