Muhammed Yusoff Rawther is scheduled to appear in court today to face charges related to illegal firearm possession. His lawyer, Rafique Rashid, confirmed that Yusoff would be presented before a magistrates’ court. The charges are anticipated to be brought under the Arms Act 1960.
Court Appearance for Firearm Charges

Yusoff's legal team received confirmation that he would be charged before magistrate S. Mageswary. This appearance follows his arrest on September 6, during which police reportedly found two pistols and 305 grams of marijuana in the vehicle he occupied.
Previous Drug Trafficking Charge

This firearm possession charge is separate from a previous accusation. On September 11, Yusoff was charged with trafficking 305 grams of cannabis, an allegation to which he pleaded not guilty. He is accused of committing this drug trafficking offense on September 6 at the Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters.
Potential Penalties Under Drug Act

The cannabis trafficking charge falls under Section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act. This particular section carries significant penalties, including the possibility of a life sentence and a minimum of 12 strokes of the rotan. Yusoff's current legal situation involves both firearm and drug-related accusations.
