After finding him guilty of three drug offenses from two years ago, the Shah Alam High Court sentenced Malaysian singer-composer Yasin Sulaiman, 48, to life in prison and 16 strokes of the cane on Thursday ( Aug 22 ).
Yasin’s three costs include self-administering the medicine 11-nor-delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acids, possessing 193.7g of cannabis at the time of his imprisonment in March 2022 and cultivating 17 cannabis plants in his house.
Yasin was recently acquitted of these expenses on Nov 29, 2023 by a lower court which declared that the Mimpi Laila singer was” no emotionally sound” and “exhibited , psychotic symptoms that eroded his cognitive skills”.
But,  , High Court judge Norsharidah Awang allowed the lawyer’s charm to reject Yasin’s conviction.  , Following the imprisonment,  , Yasin was handcuffed by the police and taken to Kajang Prison in Selangor, Malaysia.
” It’s a dark day for me”, he was quoted as saying as he was led away by police.
