    The court accepted the guilty pleas as voluntary and properly recorded, gave weight to the JKM report and mitigating factors (age, first offence, parental willingness) but also to public interest and seriousness of destruction of public property, and therefore imposed a non‑custodial but significant rehabilitative and deterrent order: 100 hours community service to be completed within 6 months plus a 2‑year good behaviour bond for parents/guardians secured by RM1000.
