Court exercised its discretion under section 6(1) Act 357 to impose a fine in lieu of the statutory custodial range because the factual matrix showed the offence was less serious (no evidence of intent to use the parang, no violence, no other wrongful items), the accused was a first offender who pleaded guilty early, cooperated with police, suffered family and economic hardship, and public interest and rehabilitative aims were better served by a monetary sentence and restorative approach rather than immediate imprisonment.
