The court exercised judicial discretion and held that Section 117(2) does not compel imposition of additional daily fines as a mandatory matter; having considered public interest, mitigation (guilty plea, repayment, personal circumstances) and the pandemic context, the magistrate's sentence of RM300 fine in default two weeks imprisonment is appropriate and is upheld; the prosecution's appeal is dismissed.
