    Court accepted guilty plea to s.354 Penal Code and imposed 3 years imprisonment and RM5000 fine (6 months default) because the factual conduct (fondling, attempted penetration of undergarment, warnings to victim) was serious, caused significant trauma to an 11-year-old and was aggravated by the familial relationship; defence mitigation was insufficient to justify a lighter sentence.
