The dismissal was set aside because the decision-maker failed to provide contemporaneous reasons, a failure that breached procedural fairness and undermined meaningful judicial review; statutory silence did not excuse that duty; disciplinary action was also vitiated by jurisdictional defect as the alleged misconduct occurred prior to the applicant's entry into public service; appropriate remedy was reinstatement with back pay for the unexpired contractual term, refusal of general damages, and costs of RM5,000.
