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.
