KUALA LUMPUR: Murder accused Datuk Balwant Singh acted rationally when he shot a despatch rider to disarm him during a violent confrontation between them in Bangsar here last June, a High Court was told yesterday. 

Defence counsel Datuk Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said his client had behaved more than reasonably after he was threatened and assaulted repeatedly with a stick by R. Gobala Krishnan, 33, in the June 7 incident.
