On the court record
Engages the prosecution and sentencing of terrorism-related offences under the security-offences legislation and the Penal Code, including the treatment of a guilty plea and the commencement of a sentence of imprisonment.
Yazid Mustaqim Roslan appears in this corpus as counsel for the prosecution in serious criminal matters in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi), concerned with terrorism offences and sentencing. Several of the matters arose under the security-offences legislation and the terrorism provisions of the Penal Code, following pleas of guilty, so that the contest was over sentence rather than conviction.
In one matter the charge concerned an act of terrorism under the security-offences framework, described in Malay as involving "perbuatan pengganas" (a terrorist act) and a mistaken ideology said to have led to a shooting tragedy at Ulu Tiram. The accused had entered a plea of guilty, and the court took the relevant facts into account in deciding whether the sentence sought was excessive. In a related matter the catchwords describe an offence under the security-offences legislation involving a "baiah kepada kumpulan pengganas" (an oath of allegiance to a terrorist group) and the discovery of weapons connected with the shooting tragedy, again in the context of determining the appropriate sentence.
In a further matter, in which he appeared as counsel for the respondent, the charge was under "sek.130Q Kanun Keseksaan" (section 130Q of the Penal Code), following a plea of guilty. The sentencing question there was a technical one about the commencement of imprisonment where there were two dates of offending some years before the arrest, and the accused had been arrested on an earlier and a later occasion — the court considering when the term of imprisonment should begin and how to weigh the accused's mitigation. Across these matters, Yazid Mustaqim Roslan's role as prosecuting counsel engaged the sentencing of terrorism-related offences under the security-offences legislation and the Penal Code, including the treatment of a guilty plea in mitigation and the rules governing the commencement of a sentence of imprisonment.
