JOHOR BARU: A 37-year-old businessman was acquitted of a drug possession charge after a High Court here ruled that the prosecution had failed to prove a prima facie case against him.
P. Kiran Kumar was acquitted on Monday (March 1) after the court ruled that the prosecution had failed to provide credible evidence on the charge against him as well as contradictory statements made by the witnesses.
According to the charge sheet, Kiran was in possession of 34.9gm of methamphetamine at a supermarket in Seri Alam at about 7.10pm on July 1,2018.
The act is an offence under Section 12(2) of the Dangerous Drugs Act and punishable under Section 39A(2) of the same Act, which carries a jail term of up to five years and 10 strokes of the cane.
Judicial commissioner Dr Shahnaz Sulaiman made the order after allowing the prosecution’s appeal yesterday.
She ruled that the prosecution had proven a prima facie case against Sam Ke Ting.
Members of the media and family members of the deceased were barred from entering the courtroom.
Sam, 26, was charged with driving recklessly and dangerously, which resulted in the death of eight cyclists, under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which provides for a jail term of not more than 10 years and a fine not exceeding RM20,000, upon conviction.
Exactly four years ago, on Feb 18,2017, the eight teen cyclists were killed while another eight were injured when a car driven by the accused ploughed into the group.
