No sufficient basis existed to conclude the magistrate's sentence was manifestly inadequate or improperly reached. The magistrate lawfully considered statutory sentencing ranges, the guilty plea to the alternative charge, the social report, the respondent's youth and prospects, the adverse weather as causative factor and the public interest; balancing these factors the sentence of RM5,000 (5 months imprisonment in default) and endorsement on licence was appropriate and was therefore upheld.
