The Magistrate lawfully imposed a fine of RM7000 (or 6 months imprisonment in default) as it fell within statutory sentencing powers and was proportionate to the offence and offender profile after judicial consideration of mitigating factors (first offender status, cooperation, financial hardship, age and medical condition, lack of violence and small quantum of loss). The sentence is a legitimate exercise of discretion within the limits of relevant statutes and authorities cited.
