Because the accused was a repeat offender previously convicted under s.39C(1), S.39C(2) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 mandated imprisonment of not less than seven years; the court therefore lawfully imposed the statutory minimum seven years' imprisonment to run from date of arrest and two years' supervision under s.38B ADB; whipping was not ordered because the accused is female and thus exempt under section 289; the guilty plea and personal mitigation were considered but were outweighed by public interest and the seriousness of the offence.
