The court held that prosecution proved beyond a prima facie standard that T1 and T2 acquired, transported and retained Cambodian workers and exploited them for forced labour using means including illegal smuggling, retention of passports, debt bondage, confinement and threats; the defendants acted with common intention under section 34; consent was irrelevant; therefore both defendants convicted under section 12 Akta 670 read with section 34 and ordered to pay statutory compensation under section 66A.
