The court found that the utterance 'ko bodoh' did not meet the threshold of insulting modesty under s.509 but did constitute an indecent/insulting utterance punishable under s.14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955; on the s.323 charge the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused voluntarily caused hurt (soft tissue injury corroborated by witness complaints and medical evidence). The accused was therefore convicted on the amended s.14 charge and on s.323 Penal Code and sentenced accordingly.
