    Accused's voluntary guilty plea and admitted facts rendered conviction valid under s.305 KTJ; mitigation was considered but outweighed by gravity of offences (predawn housebreaking, threats with imitation firearm, physical assault, obstruction of officers); sentences imposed were within statutory limits, reduced from maximum where appropriate, ordered to run concurrently from date of arrest to reflect proportionality and public interest in deterrence.

    The court dismissed the prosecution's appeal and upheld the magistrate's sentence of a RM1,000 fine in default 3 months imprisonment because the offence involved a non-functioning imitation rifle with no evidence of use in crime, the accused was to be treated as a first offender for this charge, pleaded guilty at first mention, had limited means and dependants, had spent 11 days remand, COVID-19 prison overcrowding favoured non-custodial measures, and the totality of fines for three contemporaneous charges (total RM3,500) made the imposed fine proportionate and not excessive.
