Given the admitted facts, conviction on the plea was appropriate; the aggravated manner of the love‑scam (recording and use of obscene material to extort) and the prevalence of online fraud justified a custodial sentence despite first‑offender status and guilty plea; the court imposed one month imprisonment from date of arrest and RM8000 fine, and dismissed the stay application because no special circumstances were shown and risk of absconding existed for a foreign national under s.311.
