On the evidence of multiple witnesses, documentary exhibits and supervisory practice, the court found that the accused, acting as the receiving immigration officer, processed passport applications using Malaysian identities for Sri Lankan migrants, had knowledge or reason to believe the entries/exits were unlawful, and provided the requisite assistance to facilitate migrant smuggling under s.26A ATIPSOM; the defence denial failed to raise reasonable doubt, therefore conviction was proper.
