PUTRAJAYA:
The Court of Appeal today acquitted composer and singer Yasin Sulaiman on all three drug-related charges.
In a unanimous decision, a three-judge panel comprising Justices Che Ruzima Ghazali, Collin Lawrence Sequerah and Azmi Ariffin overturned the High Court’s conviction sentencing Yasin to life imprisonment and 16 strokes of the rotan.
However, it reinstated the sessions court’s decision ordering Yasin to be placed at Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta, Perak, at the pleasure of the Sultan of Selangor.
