Given the substantial quantity of dangerous drugs (213.37g, approximately 42 times the statutory minimum), the public interest and deterrence considerations outweighed the appellant's mitigating factors; therefore under s39A(2) Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and having regard to the amended Criminal Justice Act 1953 the appropriate sentence was 18 years imprisonment and 10 strokes of the rattan, backdated to date of arrest.
