Conviction is upheld because the accused's defence was a late, unsupported bare denial/afterthought that failed to discharge the evidential burden to rebut the prima facie case; the failure to call material witnesses and to provide corroborative evidence justified the trial court's acceptance of prosecution evidence. The RM4,000 fine (or 6 months imprisonment if unpaid) and two-year supervision order are not manifestly excessive and are affirmed.
