4, including 2 brothers, to be hangged for Cannabis trafficking.

Four get death for trafficking cannabis - Latest - New Straits Times

27/06/2012 KUALA LUMPUR: Two brothers were among four drug traffickers handed the death penalty by the High Court here today for trafficking 22kg of cannabis three years ago.
 
Judge Datuk Asmabi Mohamad when sentencing the four said the defence had failed to raise reasonable doubts against the prosecution's charges.
 
He said the first accused Badrul Hisham Kamaruddin, 42 and his brother Mohd Amirul 24, from Kuala Lipis, Pahang, admitted that they had met an agent provocateur three times but to deal with snake skins and not drugs.
 
Two other accused, Syed Mohamad Anis Alkaff Syed Osman, 55, and Azhar Ali, 47, in their defence had said that there had come to Kuala Lumpur to buy a lorry.
 
"After listening to 13 witnesses from the prosecution and four from the defence, the court felt the defence's denial was an afterthought," said Asmabi.
 
Badrul Hisham, Mohd Amirul, Syed Mohamad Anis and Azhar were charged of committing the offence, trafficking 22,007 grams of Cannabis in front of an aluminum factory, New Age, 160B New Village, Jalan TUDM, Petaling Jaya at about 4.20pm on Feb 21, 2009.
 
Prosecution was led by Wan Zuraida Wan Nawan while Nik Mohd Radhia represented the two brothers and lawyers Surjan Singh and A. Nadarajan represented Syed Mohamad Anis and Azhar respectively. -- BERNAMA

That's such a shame. Just goes to show, while there are some areas of the world moving forward on the legalization front, there are still those living in the dark ages.

4.20pm on Feb 21, 2009. lol

ganja god will protect there soul in afterlife....don't be sad.. people gotta learn death is good.. its a shame they died for a shitty reason but there better off than this hell o we call reality.

the real hypocrisy is that they are getting HANGED for all this aka receiving a death penalty for all this. From what i know killing another human being is condemned in all walks of life. its forbidden in mostly all great religious laws. if 2 men on a train are carrying posters and man 1 poster read "i killed someone" and the other man's poster read "I just snuck 1lb of weed through the airport". the dude who killed someone would receive more stares and outcasted than the dude with weed. Just goes to show you that there's a lot of backward societies in this world.

Singapore Cannabis Awareness | Facebook

Gerakan Edukasi Ganja Malaysia | Facebook

We are trying to raise awareness. But we face one big problem.

Our politicians are scared. For the past 40 years, our government have been hanging hundreds people for cannabis trafficking and imprisoned many more for cannabis growing/possession thinking that Cannabis is a dangerous drug.

They are scared to admit they were wrong. They are scared to admit that Cannabis is not a dangerous drug but instead is a very health giving plant.

I can understand America is facing this problem as well. When you legalize cannabis, what is going to happen to the hundreds of thousands of people in prisons? Best case scenario, all will be released.

But for us, no matter what they do, they cannot raise the dead back to life.

thats some backwards fucks for sure. let me run into that dumb ass judge who sentences those ppoor people to death on thee streets of america, i will seriously whoop his ass and beat his face in with a bat.

Seriously fucked up

edit: Wow, imagine being the parents of those brothers. Losing your boys to a fucking plant. Fucking sick

How hasn't there been a revolt yet?

How hasn't there been a revolt yet?

Just from reading some yahoo answer questions and outright arguments between Malaysians and potential tourists on forums. I declare that the majority of their population is bat shit crazy. Alot of the forums I visited the "foriegners" were belittled and flamed just for asking questions about the illegality of weed in Malaysia, the presence of sex trafficing, or anything that makes their country look bad.

In yahoo answers a couple Malaysians were more "neutral" about their feelings on weed and willing to discuss. The guy was a tour guide and frequently gets asked for hook ups but he only drinks. He says he sees college kids/locals smoking all the time and they don't get hassled. But he reffered to everyone that smoked marijuana as a drug addict. At one point he legitimatly asked if he could get prosecuted for basicly discussing marijuana use in his city....

I live in Sabah, we got lots of Filipinos, just go downtown KK and ask any stray kid around the market or on the night markets, they will take you to their brother or friends and there you go – very sad, isn’t it (can I get prosecuted legally for giving such information?)! Unfortunately you could also go to any school in KK and half of the LOCAL kids are on that stuff. Sadder yet!

Maybe it would be easier to get statistics on drug addicts in Malaysia (not government polished ones), and categorise them into segments like 12-14 year old drug addicts, 14-16 etc.

When laws start killing more people than has the substance or action legislated against, you know you need to rethink your policy.

Didnt quite get your example of "posters". might want to reword that to make sense.

2 dudes on a train. Man 1 bears a poster that reads " I killed someone last night". Man 2 poster reads "I snuck 1lb of weed through jfk airport". Man 1 (the killer) would be ostracized by the whole train. Somebody might even want to kill him. Nobody would pay the other dude any attention for smuggling weed. I was just painting a picture that killers are pariahs of all societies known to man.

There goes 4 more deaths that will add to the deaths by ignorance.

@4:20pm no less

May god have mercy on their souls, especially their killers'. Hopefully they'll go to a better place for only trying to sell a harmless plant.

thats so sad.

as someone sad above, it is pretty ridiculous when the laws about a drug kill more people than the drug does.

crazy just plain crazy. RIP

A better example,if there were 5 people on an island,and one guy went around killing everybody who tried to grow cannabis....would the other people on the island except that? What would they do to that guy?
