ALASAN PENGHAKIMAN

1. This accused person ['the OKT'] had stood charged before me for an offence under s 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 ['the DDA 1952'] . The said charge P4, in its original language had read as follows:

"Bahawa kamu pada 5 Januari 2006 jam lebih kurang 12.70 pagi di kaunter 21, Unit Khas Pemeriksaan Penumpang (UKPP) Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur, dalam daerah Sepang, dalam negeri Selangor Darul Ehsan telah mengedar dadah berbahaya iaitu Methamphetamine seberat 689.8 gram. Oleh yang demikian, kamu telah melakukan kesalahan di bawah Seksyen 39B(1)(a) Akta Dadah Berbahaya 1952 dan boleh dihukum di bawah Seksyen 39B(2) Akta yang sama ."

2. On the 04^th of August 2009, I had read out the Court's decision in this case whereby I had convicted the OKT as per the said charge and I had sentenced him to the mandatory death penalty under s 39(B)(2) of the DDA 1952 . I now set out the reasons in full, as to why I had so decided.

3. To begin at the beginning, besides having to prove the alleged factual circumstances relating to the charge P4, the Prosecution needed to prove the essential legal ingredients of the charge against the OKT in order to succeed. In
