Deputy public prosecutor Noor Dayana Mohamad informed the High Court that the prosecution had received the representation, dated Jan 2.

“Today is set for case mention, and we have just received the representation from the defence lawyer. Therefore, we request a date to decide on it,” Dayana said.

Yusoff’s lawyer, Rafique Rashid Ali, confirmed the matter and requested a trial date.

Justice Jamil Hussin then scheduled five days for the trial, from April 7 to 11.

Yusoff, 32, is accused of trafficking 305g of cannabis, which was found in his vehicle near the surau at the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters at 10.15am on Sept 6, 2024.

He was charged under Section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which carries a sentence of life imprisonment and at least 12 strokes of the cane, upon conviction.

He also pleaded not guilty to a charge of possessing two imitation firearms by the roadside near a condominium on Jalan Bukit Kiara at 9.25am on the same day.

The charge was framed under Section 36(1) of the Arms Act 1960, which provides for a maximum one year in prison, a fine of up to RM5,000, or both, upon conviction.
