CASE(S) OF THE WEEK

PP v. AHMAD SAIFUL ISLAM MOHAMAD [2023] 2 CLJ 714
COURT OF APPEAL, PUTRAJAYA
KAMALUDIN MD SAID JCA; GUNALAN MUNIANDY JCA; HASHIM HAMZAH JCA
[CRIMINAL APPEAL NO: W-09-282-11-2021]
20 JANUARY 2023

Courts are bound to observe judicial hierarchy for the orderly development of legal rules as well as for the courts and lawyers to regulate their affairs. The doctrine of stare decisis provides certainty and uniformity in the law and stabilises the law, hence, is an indispensable foundation to a decision. The Court of Appeal, as the highest court to determine appeals in criminal matters emanating from subordinate courts, when faced with two conflicting decisions of the Court of Appeal, ought to follow the later decision for there to be a finality and certainty in the law.

CRIMINAL PROCEDURE: Appeal - Appeal against conviction and sentence - Break in chain of evidence - Charge under s. 15 of Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 - Collection of urine samples - Discrepancy in labelling of bottle containing sample - Whether affected identity and credibility of sample - Whether conviction safe

JURISDICTION: Court of Appeal - Powers and jurisdiction - Court of Appeal highest court to determine appeals for criminal matters originating from subordinate courts - Application of doctrine of stare decisis - Whether principles governing Federal Court in Dalip Bhagwan Singh v. PP equally applicable to Court of Appeal - Whether later decision prevailed over earlier decision - Whether Magistrate correct in following later decision of Court of Appeal

FILMOGRAPHY RELATED TO THRILLER AND INTERRELATIONS WITH NATURAL LAW

by

ABSTRACT

Fiction in the thriller genre focuses on stories with high drama, suspense, and excitement. It frequently crosses over with other literary and cinematic subgenres like crime, adventure, and espionage. These days, there are numerous criminal drama series available on Netflix that make viewers empathise with murderers due to the way they are portrayed in the show. The real crime community would see a rise in fangirling over the killers, creating fan accounts for them, and producing TikTok videos defending them. Examples of the criminal filmographies that will be covered in this paper include Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, the Ted Bundy Series, and The Good Nurse and more. This paper aims to link criminal filmmaking with jurisprudence, mainly focusing on the natural law, which are the theory of morality, the theory of ethical relativism and the theory of interests. This study offers a brief representation of the perceived ethical difficulties that filmmakers, directors and producer-directors identify in the exercise of their trade. Furthermore, this study shows the importance of continuing and open discourse regarding ethical issues in filming. Filmmakers need to evolve a common concept of just ways to balance their many commitments as well as a more broadly accepted awareness of the nature of their challenges. It is essential to limit any severe alterations or impact of humans by unnatural, ferocious, and harsh forces to orient human behaviour toward preserving civilisations, morality, and customs.
