LOCAL MAN ACQUITTED OF METHAMPHETAMINE TRAFFICKING CHARGE IN SEMBULAN

In the defence arguments, the accused, represented by Mohd Azhier Farhan bin Arisin, contended among other points that the raiding officer's testimony regarding the accused's own admission and retrieval of the drugs hidden in the back of the car after being read the cautionary words under section 37B (1) (b) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 was implausible. This skepticism arose partly because the raiding officer, upon cross-examination by Azhier, could not recall and recite the cautionary words in open court.

'Most meaningful Raya gift’, says man after walking free from drug trafficking charge in KK

KOTA KINABALU: A man who was facing a possible death sentence for a drug trafficking offence walked out a free man after the court released him from the charge on Wednesday (May 10).

Speaking to reporters after the ruling, the 26-year-old construction worker was grateful the court decided in his favour.

"It was the most meaningful Hari Raya gift," he said, his face beaming with both elation and relief.

"I wish to return to my village (in the Philippines) after this to be with my family.

"As the offence was non-bailable, I had to spend some three years under detention," he added.

“I feel like I died and came back to life. I'm grateful as I'm cleared of the charge. I couldn't contain my joy when I heard the court's decision," she said, trying to hold back her emotions.

Magistrate Afiq Agoes acquitted and discharged Mohd Nasrul Jainorahim, 38, who was charged under Section 12 (2) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, punishable under Section 39A (1) of the same Act.

"Having heard the defence as well as having seen all the submission submitted, I am inclined to agree with counsel that the prosecution's technical failure in tendering the amended charge with the accurate weight of drugs possessed by the accused, is fatal to the case.

"Therefore, the accused in this case is discharged and acquitted from the charge," Afiq said when he delivered his decision after a full trial has been conducted since 2019.
