JOHOR BARU: A 53-year-old contractor was acquitted by the High Court here from three charges of distributing drugs five years ago.
The accused, Wong Shee Kay, was freed from the charge of distributing 84g of heroin, 1.7kg methamphetamine, and 116g monoacetylmorphine.
In his judgement, the prosecution failed to prove that Wong had any control or power over the drugs found inside a vehicle with the registration number JQJ 3692. “The prosecution had failed to call up the owner of the car to cover the information with regards to the access to the vehicle. Thus, the accused is then acquitted and discharged from all of the charges without being called to enter his defence, said Judge Abu Bakar.
