Deputy public prosecutor Adiba Iman Hassan objected to bail on the grounds that the accused is a non-resident. However, if bail was granted, she proposed a sum of not less than RM20,000 with two Malaysian sureties. Defence counsel Muhammad Affendy Mohd Yusop requested a lower sum, citing that his client earns RM1,800 per month, supports a wife and child, and sustained serious injuries, including fractured ribs, due to the incident. Magistrate Khairunnisak Hassni granted bail at RM20,000 with two local sureties. He was also ordered to report to the nearest police station monthly, prohibited from contacting the victim's family or prosecution witnesses, and had his driving licence suspended pending the disposal of the case. The next case mention was fixed for August 11.
