DEATH FOR SINGAPOREAN SINGLE MOTHER FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING
SHAH ALAM (Selangor, Malaysia), March 18 (Bernama) -- The Shah Alam High Court Friday sentenced a Singaporean single mother to death for trafficking in drugs at the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT), two years ago.
Judge Noor Azian Shaari delivered the sentence on Noor Atiqah M. Lasim, 27, after the defence failed to establish reasonable doubt on the charge under Section 39B (2) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
The accused, who worked as a legal assistant in the republic, was alleged to have trafficked in 342.1 grammes of heroin and 30.3 grammes of monoacethyl morphine at the LCCT on Jan 5, 2009.
When delivering the decision, Noor Azian said the prosecution had proven a prima facie case against Noor Atiqah.
After evaluation of the facts and statement, the court found the accused had custody and control of the drugs and called for her defence.
According to Noor Azian, the defendant's statement that the bag containing the drugs belonged to another person was difficult to believe and unreasonable.
Noor Atiqah, mother of a six-year-old girl, was represented by counsel Mohaji Selamat while Deputy Public Prosecutor Wan Zuraida Wan Nawan prosecuted the case.
