How Bail Works In Malaysia
Before release on bail in Malaysia the accused signs a bond for a sum the police or court thinks is enough, and one or more sufficient sureties also sign. The amount must be enough to secure attendance but not excessive. A court may allow a deposit of money instead of the bond.
