THAIS CHARGED WITH TRAFFICKING IN CANNABIS

KUANTAN: Two Thais were charged in a magistrate's court here with
trafficking in 32.31kg of cannabis.

No plea was recorded from Abdul Halim Da-Oh, 35, and Manawi Mama, 41,
of Narathiwat province.

The offence allegedly took place at Lagoona Villa Cherating at the
43rd kilometre of the Kuantan-Kemaman road on Nov 16.

The charge under the Dangerous Drugs Act carries the mandatory death
penalty upon conviction.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Kalmizah Salleh applied for a new hearing
date as the prosecution was awaiting the chemist's report. Magistrate
Noralashiken Abd Razak fixed Jan 29 for the case to be re-mentioned.
