Man caught for having drugs – again
KUALA TERENGGANU: Police detained a 55-year-old man for possession of drugs in front of the Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque in Kuala Ibai, near here.
The man was caught in his car parked outside the mosque at about 6pm last Thursday.
Following a search, the police found nine small bottles, believed to contain heroin, in his trouser pocket and another 10 bottles in the car.
He said the man was released from Marang prison last June, and had been sentenced to 34 years’ jail and 16 strokes of the rotan for various drug related offences previously.
Supt Roslan said the suspect has been remanded until Jan 20 for investigation under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act, which carries the mandatory death sentence upon conviction. — Bernama
