As the video makes its wave on social media, the man was quick to defend his actions, saying that the woman was trying to overtake his car but there was a car in front of him. He mentioned that if the woman had overtaken him, it would lead them into a fatal accident, causing him to lose his temper.

During mitigation, the 29-year-old factory supervisor who earns a mere RM4,000 salary pled for a light punishment as he needs to take care of his pregnant wife and young kid. Deputy Public Prosecutor Geetha Jora Singh asked for the court to impose a hefty punishment as it would serve as a reminder to others who commit the same offence.
Prior to sentencing, Magistrate Siti Hanum Mohmad Sah said that every action has got its consequences and probed for locals to always think of their families first before making any actions. Following that, Zaim was sentenced by court to serve 7 days in prison, with the sentence beginning today.
