Section 39C(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 mandates a custodial sentence between five and seven years and whipping for an offender with the requisite prior convictions; the court accepted the guilty plea as mitigation but found it outweighed by the seriousness of the offence, the defendant's repeated convictions for the same offence and the public interest in deterrence, and therefore imposed six years imprisonment, three strokes and three years supervision.
