Sum was offered a bail of RM12,000, but his defence lawyer requested the court to reduce the amount as Sum is facing difficulties in business and has to take care of his family, reported Harian Metro.

The court has set the bail to RM6,000, and the case has been set for a re-mention on 24 February 2025.
