Guilty plea was validly and unequivocally accepted under s.173 CTPC; s.380 Penal Code mandates imprisonment and affords sentencing discretion that must account for statutory purpose, offender's antecedents and public interest; given the defendant's multiple prior convictions for similar offences and the need for deterrence, the court gave limited weight to the guilty plea and mitigation and imposed one month imprisonment commencing 18 April 2024.
