Both charges are framed under Section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, punishable under Section 39B(2) of the same Act, which carries the mandatory death penalty or life imprisonment, along with no fewer than 12 strokes of the cane if the death sentence is not imposed. Deputy public prosecutor Firdaus Ruslan prosecuted, while Musfira Mohd Fahmi appeared for the defence. The prosecution earlier requested a new mention date to allow time for the chemistry report. No bail was offered. The court fixed Sept 10 for mention pending the completion of the analysis.
