On the judicial record
Shows how a High Court judge applies the prima-facie-case threshold and chain-of-custody scrutiny in Bahasa Malaysia drug-trafficking prosecutions under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
Evawani Farisyta binti Mohammad sits in the High Court, and this collection of reported decisions is overwhelmingly criminal, with judgments delivered in Bahasa Malaysia. The dominant category is drug prosecutions: charges of trafficking in dangerous drugs, framed in the judgments as pengedaran dadah berbahaya (trafficking in dangerous drugs) and brought under seksyen 39B Akta Dadah Berbahaya 1952 (section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952), together with possession charges under the same Act and drug-smuggling charges under seksyen 26B(d) Akta 670 (section 26B(d) of Act 670, the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency Act). The judgments show the full arc of a criminal trial. At the close of the prosecution case the court decides whether a prima facie case has been made out — in several matters it held that the prosecution had failed to do so and ordered the accused acquitted, while in others it called on the accused to enter a defence with the outcome recorded as diperintahkan untuk membela diri (ordered to enter a defence). Recurring evidential issues include the rantaian barang kes (the chain of custody of the exhibits) and the identity of the seized drugs. Beyond the drug work the docket includes a murder charge under seksyen 302 Kanun Keseksaan (section 302 of the Penal Code), where the court held the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case, and prosecution appeals against sentence, such as a rayuan atas hukuman (appeal against sentence) following a plea of guilty to an alternative charge under section 39A(2) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. A smaller civil strand appears in appeals from summary judgment in the subordinate courts. In keeping with the site's suppression rule, accused persons are referred to here by their role rather than by name. The collection is useful for seeing how one High Court judge handles the prima-facie-case threshold and the chain-of-evidence questions that dominate Malaysian drug-trafficking trials.
