Having weighed public interest and need for deterrence against the welfare, age (16), first‑offender status, full probation report, early guilty plea, lack of evidence of violence, remorse and strong family supervision, the court exercised its discretion under s.91(1)(b) Child Act 2001 to avoid custodial/Henry Gurney disposition and instead ordered release on a 3‑year good behaviour bond with RM1,000 surety and a 1‑year parental bond with specified supervisory and counselling conditions.
