Balancing public interest and the need for deterrence against significant mitigating factors (immediate guilty plea, cooperation, remorse, deletion of material and clean record), the accused was convicted under s.233(1)(a) CMA and sentenced to a fine of RM30,000, default 6 months imprisonment; a custodial sentence was unnecessary given the mitigating circumstances but a substantial fine is required to reflect the gravity and deterrent purpose of the law.
