Legal Penalties for Drug Use Charges Faced by Customs Officers

Four Customs officers have pleaded not guilty to charges related to drug use, with the potential penalties varying based on the specific offense. The charges stem from alleged drug use that occurred at the Batu Pahat District police headquarters' Narcotics Crime Investigation Division office on April 28.
Penalties for Using Methamphetamine

Norazmi Mohd Rashid, Mohd Ruduan Yahya@Yahaya, and Mohamad Safiq Basman, along with Salehudin Idres, were charged with using methamphetamine under Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. If convicted of this offense, they face a maximum fine of RM5,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.
Additional Penalties for Salehudin Idres

Salehudin Idres faces an additional charge for using methamphetamine under Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, read in conjunction with Section 38B of the same act. For this more serious charge, a conviction could result in a maximum fine of RM5,000, imprisonment for up to two years, and a period of police supervision lasting up to three years.
Bail and Case Management

The court set bail at RM2,000 for each of the four accused, requiring one surety per person. The case has been scheduled for June 26 for document submission and management. The prosecution had initially proposed bail of RM10,000 each, but the defence appealed for a lower amount, citing the officers' continued service and family responsibilities.
