Dan seterusnya OKT telah diberikan kelonggaran menyertai Program "Corporate Smart Internship" (CSI) iaitu Program CSI Parol sehingga menunggu tarikh pembebasan sepenuhnya.

12
In PP v. Shari Mohd Shariff [2005] 5 CLJ 439 (HC), Low Hop Bing J dalam penghakimannya: “The principles governing the imposition of concurrent or consecutive sentences have been succinctly stated in Bachik Abdul Rahman v. PP [2004] 2 CLJ 572 CA (foll) by Augustine Paul JCA who delivered the judgment of the Court of Appeal and may be enumerated as follows:
1
In deciding whether the terms of imprisonment should be concurrent or consecutive, the court should be guided by the one transaction rule and the totality principle;
2
Pursuant to the one transaction rule, where two or more offences are committed in the course of a single transaction all sentences in respect of these offences should be concurrent rather than consecutive: R v. Saleem [1964] Crim. LR 482; R v. Walsh [1965] Crim. LR 248; Abu Seman v. PP [1981] 1 LNS 181 [1982] 2 MLJ 338 at p. Chong Siew Fai J (later CJ (Sabah & Sarawak); PP v. Yap Huat Heng [1986] 1 CLJ 81; [1986] CLJ (Rep) 645 HC (refd)Abu Seman v. PP [1981] 1 LNS 181; Hashim bin Pawanchee & Anor v. PP [1988] 2 MLJ 66; Haji Johari bin Haji Abdul Karim v. PP [1989] 2 MLJ 276; PP v. Wong Kok Sein & Ors [1988] 1 CLJ 873; [1988] 2 CLJ (Rep) 630 HC (refd)Sau Soo Kim v. PP [1975] 1 LNS 158 and PP v. Ng Chong Wan [1988] 2 CLJ 833; [1988] 2 CLJ (Rep) 278 HC (refd) in Gek Sing Kaliappan v. PP [1999] 4 CLJ 292 HC (refd) per Vincent Ng J.
3
For there to be one transaction four elements must be present, that is to say, proximity of time, proximity of place, continuity of action and continuity of purpose or design: Jayaraman & Ors v. PP [1979] 1 LNS 36 [1979] 2 MLJ 88; Amrita Lal Hazra v. Emperor 42 Cal. 957; Chin Choy v. PP [1955] 1 LNS 17 [1955] MLJ 236; and SA Jamil Md Yusof [2002] 7 CLJ 132 HC (refd).
4
The one transaction rule is, however, not absolute, as there are situations where consecutive sentences are necessary to discourage the type of criminal conduct being punished: R v. Sheatley [1983] 5 Cr. App. R (S) 417 and R v. Skinner [1986] 8 Cr. App. R (S) 166. The applicability of the exception is said to depend on the facts of the case and the circumstances of the offence;
5
A cumulative sentence may offend the totality principle if the aggregate sentence is substantially above the normal level of sentences for the most serious of the individual offences involved, or if its effect is to impose on the offender “a crushing sentence” not in keeping with his records and prospects: DA Thomas in “Principles of Sentencing” (2nd edn) pp 57-58; Wong Kai Chuen Philip v. PP, supra; and Kanagasuntharam, supra; and Maideen Pillai v. PP [1996] 1 SLR 161;
6
Sentences must have regard to the total length of sentence passed, particularly where consecutive sentences have been imposed, to ensure that the sentence properly reflects the overall seriousness of the behaviour: Emmins on Sentencing, 2nd edn. p. 151;
7
There will be cases properly described as crushing the hope in the offender of reformation and a return to a desirable life but in which the offender has, by his criminal acts, forfeited any right to have his sentence reduced on that account: Crowley and Garner v. R [1991] 55 A Crim. R 201;
8
A richly deserved sentence, not manifestly excessive, should not be disturbed just because the person upon whom the sentence is imposed may feel crushed by it: per O’Bryan J in Crowley and Garner v. R, supra, at p. 301; To the above principles, the following may be added:
9
The question whether the sentences should run consecutively or concurrently must depend upon the particular circumstances of the case: Sau Soo Kim v. PP [1975] 1 LNS 158 [1975] 2 MLJ 134, per Lee Hun Hoe CJ (Borneo) (as he then was) whose judgment was read by Suffian LP (as he then was);
10
The totality principle requires the court to consider whether the aggregate is just and appropriate and to ensure that the sentence is not excessive: R v. Faulkner [1972] 56 Cr. App R. 594; PP v. Teoh Heng Chye [1990] 1 CLJ 194; [1989] 3 MLJ 205; PP v. Chot Saik Kam [1990] 1 LNS 137 [1991] 1 MLJ 193; Marimuthu Balakrisnan v. PP [1974] 1 LNS 88 [1974] 2
145
MLJ “
13
Seterusnya dalamPP v. Yap Huat Heng [1986] 1 CLJ 81 (HC), Mahkamah Tinggi telah menyatakan sebagaimana berikut:-: “… Where two or more distinct offences had been committed, sentences of imprisonment should not be made to run concurrently. It should only be made concurrent when an offender had been convicted of a principal and a subsidiary offence. In all other cases, sentences should be made to run consecutively. “
14
Pemakaian “one transaction rule” atau the totality principle” hanya terpakai apabila prinsip undang undang yang dinyatakan diatas adalah dipenuhi. D.
15
Hukuman yang telah diberikan oleh Mahkamah ini pada 23 April 2025 iaitu hukuman penjara 7 tahun dari tarikh tangkap iaitu 30/1/2025 dan dikenakan 3 sebatan serta pengawasan AADK untuk tempoh 2 tahun adalah merupakan hukuman yang paling minima sebagaimana yang telah diperuntukkan 16. Bagi hukuman berjalan dari tarikh tangkap pada 30/1/2025 adalah wajar memandangkan kesalahan yang dilakukan adalah pada tarikh yang sama OKT ditangkap.
17
OKT yang sedang menjalani hukuman seksyen 39A(1)(a) ADB 1952 oleh Mahkamah Sesyen Ampang iaitu 5 tahun penjara dan 1 sebatan serta pengawasan AADK 2 tahun dan sedang pula menjalani Program "Corporate Smart Internship" (CSI) iaitu Program CSI Parol sehingga menunggu tarikh pembebasan sepenuhnya.
18
OKT telah ditangkap bagi kes ini pada 30/1/2025 iaitu masih dalam parol. Adalah tidak wajar bagi OKT memohon bagi kes berjalan serentak sedangkan kesalahan hanya dilakukan dalam parol iaitu pada 30/1/2025 dan prinsip one transaction rule adalah tidak terpakai dalam kes ini. E.
19
Berdasarkan alasan dan prinsip undang undang yang dinyatakan diatas, mahkamah ini berpendapat adalah hukuman yang telah diberikan adalah wajar adil dan munasabah.
20
Walaubagaimanapun mahkamah ini menyerahkan kepada kebijasanaan YA Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi untuk membuat sebarang keputusan terhadap rayuan ini. Bertarikh: 22 Julai 2025 (NIK MOHD TARMIZIE BIN NIK MOHD SHUKRI) Hakim Mahkamah Sesyen Gua Musang Pihak-pihak Pendakwaan : Muhammad Shahril bin Ramli Timbalan Pendakwa Raya Pembelaan : Ahmad Firdaus ;
