Degree holder to hang for drugs

KUALA TERENGGANU: A 29-year-old degree holder burst into tears after he was sent to the gallows for drug trafficking.

Judge Datuk Mohd Yazid Mustapa sentenced Mohammad Abdul Rahman after he was found guilty under Section 39b of the Dangerous Drug Act 1952 for trafficking 1.4kg of cannabis at a house in Kampung Tok Jamal, Wakaf Mempelam here on Oct 3 last year.

Justice Mohd Yazid said Mohammad was regarded as an excellent student with a degree in business management but he used his intelligence for quick gains and now he had to pay the price.

He also said the prosecution, led by DPP Mohd Jazamudin Ahmad Nawawi, had proven a prima facie case against the accused.
