The Magistrate correctly held that s173A(2)(b) was lawfully available because the offence under s506 Penal Code carries a maximum two-year term and thus is not a 'serious offence' within s173A(8)/s52B; having considered mitigating factors (early guilty plea, first offender, lack of premeditation, family responsibilities and victim's withdrawal) the court properly exercised its discretion to impose a bond of good behaviour for 2 years with RM4000 surety without recording a conviction.
