Appeals Court upholds acquittal of Mat Sabu's son over drug abuse charge

Ahmad Saiful Islam, the son of former defence minister Mohamad Sabu, remains free of the drug abuse charge made against him three years ago.

This followed the decision made by the three-member panel of the Appeals Court led by justice Kamaludin Md Said in rejecting the prosecution’s appeal against the High Court’s decision to acquit and discharge the 34-year-old man of the charge last year.
