The court accepted the unreserved guilty plea to the amended charge under s15(1)(a) Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and, having regard to the statutory minimum under s39C(1)(b), the accused's prior convictions, the seriousness and rampancy of drug offences, and mitigation (age and family circumstances), imposed a sentence of six years' imprisonment within the statutory range and declined to order whipping because the accused is over 50; the sentence balanced public interest, deterrence and the accused's mitigation.
