He was charged under Section 39A (2) of the Dangerous Drugs Act which carries maximum life imprisonment and a minimum of not less than five years imprisonment with a minimum of 10 strokes of the rotan, if convicted.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Saliza Ismail prosecuted, with Hussaini Abdul Rashid representing the father of three.
