He was charged under 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and was sentenced under Section 39B(2) of the same Act. In passing sentence, High Court judge Samsudin Hassan said the prosecution had proven a prima facie case against the accused. "The amount of drugs is a lot and the court believes that the accused had the intention of selling it and it was not for personal use," he said. "The prosecution also proved beyond reasonable doubt that the cannabis belonged to the accused." In a magistrate's court, a businessman pleaded not guilty to stealing a Singapore-registered vehicle.
