Court upheld trial court's findings: prosecution adduced credible, consistent eyewitness testimony, immigration/employment documentation, medical reports and a protection order satisfying both the prima facie threshold and proof beyond reasonable doubt for s.13 ATIPSOM; conviction and 10‑year imprisonment from 1 Aug 2019 and RM4,000 compensation order were upheld; only the prosecutorial costs order of RM3,000 was set aside for lack of justification.
