MUAR: Actor Khaeryll Benjamin Ibrahim, 37, better known as Benjy, and his friend, Raja Shariff Hidayatullah Raja Shariffudin, 27, were charged in the magistrate’s court here with trafficking methamphetamine amounting to more than 1.3kg.
No plea was recorded from the duo yesterday, who merely nodded to indicate that they understood the charge under Section 39B(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 in front of magistrate Mohd Syafiq Mustaza.

If found guilty, they face the mandatory death sentence under Section 39B(2) of the same Act when read in conjunction with Section 34 of the Penal Code.
The case is being handled by deputy public prosecutor Muhammad Shukri Hussain while the accused are represented by Aqeeb Lizalman Nordin Zamery and Farhan Read. — Bernama
