    Court held the guilty plea was valid and recorded in compliance with statutory safeguards; conviction was not premature; under s.305 CPC appeal against conviction is limited to sentence only; no special or exceptional circumstances were shown to grant a stay of execution; sentence of three months imprisonment from date of arrest is proportionate and is therefore upheld.

    BJ-84-9-08/2023 (Mahkamah Majistret)

    The court accepted the guilty pleas as voluntary and properly recorded, gave weight to the JKM report and mitigating factors (age, first offence, parental willingness) but also to public interest and seriousness of destruction of public property, and therefore imposed a non‑custodial but significant rehabilitative and deterrent order: 100 hours community service to be completed within 6 months plus a 2‑year good behaviour bond for parents/guardians secured by RM1000.
