Case number

BA-41H-146-12/2020 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The magistrate erred by imposing an unduly lenient sentence that failed to reflect the seriousness of the threats and the public interest in deterring domestic violence-related threats; the threats were sufficiently grave to warrant a custodial sentence despite the guilty plea, and accordingly the fine was set aside and a ten-month imprisonment term imposed effective 22 September 2021.
