A foreign duo from Malaysia and
Thailand were each fined $1,500 or 3 months imprisonment by the
Magistrate’s Court yesterday after both pleaded guilty to
consuming Methylamphetamine or locally known as ‘Syabu’.
The Narcotics Control Bureau
Prosecuting Officers ANO Pg Othman Pg Hj Ali said the two, Abdul
Rahman Abdullah, 29, and Surajit Sorhiran, 37, were caught
consuming the class A controlled drugs on January 21 this year.

at a house in Jalan Jasmine, Beribi. At the said house, both
including three others were detained on suspicion of
drug-related activity, ANO Pg Othman told the court.
The court further heard that on
