Practice Areas
This decision is regarding an appeal lodged by the accused person against my decision given on the 21st of May 2025 and it concerns about the sentence meted out by this court. 1 Essentially, the criminal charges were read out to the accused person in Mandarin language and all the safeguards under section 178 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) was duly satisfied. The charge was read and explained to him and he pleaded guilty after understanding the nature and consequences of his plea of guilty without any qualification or reservation. 1 The main consideration in sentencing is no doubt the public interest element to reflect on the deterrence concept and to serve as a lesson to the accused person. 1 Despite the plea of guilty by the accused person preventing the need for trial and his personal factors, I must agree that drug offences are of serious nature which calls for deterrence through the sentence of the court. 1 Based on the reasons above, the accused person to be sentenced to an imprisonment term of ten (10) years from the date of arrest (8/2/2023) and 10 strokes of whipping on the alternative charge and for the second amended charge, imprisonment term of eight (8) years from the date of arrest (8/2/2023) and 10 strokes of whipping. Both imprisonment terms to run concurrently. 1
