Given the seriousness of attempting robbery with a dangerous weapon causing injuries and the need for public deterrence, the court accepted mitigation (early guilty plea and personal circumstances) but found public interest and gravity outweigh mitigation and sentenced the defendant to 7 years' imprisonment from date of arrest and two strokes of whipping, a sentence within established precedent for s.394 offences.

AB-82-13-12/2020 (Mahkamah Majistret)

Prosecution established all elements of section 323 beyond reasonable doubt on credible and consistent evidence (victim, eyewitness, medical report); the charge was not defective; absence of usable CCTV did not attract adverse inference; section 173A discharge was unsuitable given the facts and accused's status as a police officer; therefore convict and impose sentence (fine RM2000 or 3 months imprisonment).
