Given the accused's first‑offender status, clean antecedents, employment and family responsibilities, the incident arising from a momentary provocation, and applicable sentencing principles, the magistrate properly exercised discretion under s.173A(2)(b) CPC to discharge the accused conditionally on a bond for good behaviour (surety RM2000 for 3 years) for the s.448 offence and imposed a RM100 fine (default 3 days) for the s.14 Minor Offences Act offence; the sentence was not manifestly inadequate and the DPP's appeal was filed.
