The hearing yesterday went alright under the circumstances...there will definitely be a court case, date undetermined. These things can drag on and on. I've consulted with a lawyer and he said he wouldn't want to speculate what charges would be pressed against me. However, the police officer said it would most likely be a charge that would carry a fine of up to RM 10,000 or jail.
The problem here lies in the fact that I do not have 10k in savings. That is four months of my salary. I now see why people choose the "or jail" part coz in my case RM 10,000 = 4 months wages, not counting living costs, rent etc. so that could be why jail can be appealing to those people. However, I would not want to go to jail, so I will pay the fine.
Please understand that I still cannot talk about this case since anything I say can be used against me. I've already spent a whole lot of money and I have to spend more for legal representation and court fines. The good news is, there isn't a high chance of mandatory jail, just a huge fine. The bad news is, I don't have 10k in savings.
My father has kindly offered to pay for the fine when it comes. The day I have to appear in court has not being determined yet, this shit can drag on and on, but it's going to happen soon. Next Thursday, I'll know the date. The thing I hate about this is I have been financially independent since I started working and having to have my father bail me out really brings me down. I hate that feeling.
I still can't discuss the facts of the case yet, since anything can be used against me, but I've already spent more than a month's salary due to this incident. I don't want to solicit contributions, but in the dire financial straits that I'm in...shit, ya know...
I had watched my savings grow and just disappear due to this unfortunate incident. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me out. It takes a real blow on my pride to have to ask this from my readers, and I have to give out one fact of the case just to make things clear if anyone wants to help me out financially.
I accidentally caused injury to someone. It was unintentional. I honestly didn't intend for anything like that to happen.
Even though I know I will probably lose most of your support by this revelation, I still think it's fair to say that before anyone decides to contribute. It's the right thing to do and I'll appreciate it if anyone could help lighten my financial burden despite this. It was an honest accident, I never meant for it to happen...
Please send an email to legalhelp@sixthseal.com if you decide to contribute. These are my account details:

This is the easiest method to ease my financial burden since you just need to deposit cash into a BCB teller machine and email me. I would appreciate any help, no matter the amount, since I honestly can't pay a RM 10,000 fine by myself and certainly not with the additional burden of legal fees...
Thanks in advance for anyone who wishes to do so, and please email me so I can thank you.
I will be flying off to KL in an hour and I won't be back till Tuesday. It's a break from all this...I'll update then.
Take care everyone...
