Primary school teacher claims trial to Yaba pill possession
SHAH ALAM: A primary school teacher claimed trial at the magistrate's court here today to a charge of possessing 5.1 grammes of Yaba pills, commonly known as 'pil kuda', last Friday. Mohd Amirul Amin Ismail, 34, a physical education teacher, pleaded not guilty when the charge was read to him before Magistrate Muhammad Syafiq Sulaiman. Amirul, a father of one, was charged with possessing the drugs without authorisation under the Dangerous Drugs Act, an offence under Section 12(2) punishable under Section 39A. He allegedly committed the offence at about 12.30am at the teachers' quarters in Subang Jaya on July 25. He faces a jail term of not less than two years and up to five years, as well as three to nine strokes of the rotan, if found guilty. Deputy public prosecutor Muaz Khawarizmi Azfar offered RM6,000 bail with one surety. Lawyer Anasuha Atiqah Mat Saidi, who represented Amirul, asked the court to set bail at RM3,000, citing that it was all her client's wife, who would post bail, could afford. "The accused earns RM3,500 monthly and is the sole breadwinner for his family. He supports his unemployed wife, their three-year-old child and an aged mother. "This is his first charge linked to drug possession. He is a civil servant, has cooperated fully with the police during remand and is not a flight risk. "As bail is to guarantee his attendance in court, I ask that it be set at RM3,000. "His wife is here and ready to be his bailor," she said.
