Mohammad Manik Ali v Public Prosecutor

The applicant, Mohammad Manik Ali, was charged under s. 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 for entering Malaysia without a valid pass. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 9 months imprisonment and 1 stroke of caning. He filed for criminal revision, arguing that his participation in the RTK 2.0 program should exempt him from prosecution. The High Court upheld the conviction but reduced the sentence to 8 months, maintaining the caning order. A stay of sentence was granted pending appeal.
