PETALING JAYA: The sessions court here was told that the charge of cultivating 17 cannabis plants against nasyid singer and composer Yasin Sulaiman will be maintained in accordance with Section 6B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.

Deputy public prosecutor Asnawi Abu Hanipah said this followed the chemical report obtained by the prosecution yesterday, which confirmed that the plants were indeed cannabis.

“As such, we would like to request a new date for re-mention to enable submission of necessary documents to the defence team,” he said at case mention proceedings before sessions court judge Jamaludin Mat today.
