Two men sentenced to 30 years jail for large-scale cannabis trafficking

S Mohan and Ahmad Shamil Rashid have each been handed 30-year jail sentences and 12 strokes of the cane for their roles in a significant drug trafficking operation. The court ordered that their prison terms commence from May 31, 2022, the date of their arrests, meaning the time already spent in custody will count toward their sentences. The conviction relates to the seizure and detection of 139kg of cannabis, a substantial quantity that underscores the severity of the offence. The combined penalties reflect the gravity with which Malaysian courts treat large-scale drug trafficking operations. The case represents a continued enforcement effort against narcotics distribution networks in the country, with authorities prioritizing the disruption of significant drug smuggling and trafficking activities.
