Father Of Eight Jailed For Three Years
By Liza Mohamad

A father of eight, Roslan bin Sidek, aged 29, was sentenced to three years imprisonment on a charge of consuming syabu. He is a second offender. In addition, he was also fined $600 or three weeks imprisonment in default, for failing to report to the supervision officer at the Narcotics Control Bureau on three occasions in 1998. Magistrate Faisal bin Pehin Hj Keflie gave him a week to settle the fine.

Facts of the case stated that Roslan had actually been placed under a mandatory supervision order with the NCB after he had convicted in court on the first charge.

However he failed to report on three occasions, thus leading to his arrest on October 27, 1998. His urine sample was then taken for analysis and the results showed that he had tested positive for syabu.
