Ameng to go free with a fine after court sets aside jail term

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here on Friday set aside the two months' jail, but upheld the RM4,000 fine, meted out by a magistrate on Wan Aminuddin Wan Ismail or better known as Ameng Spring, the lead singer of pop group Spring for consuming drugs.

Ameng is currently at the Kluang Prison in Johor where he is serving an eight years' jail sentence, meted out by the Malacca Sessions Court on April 12 last year after he was found guilty of inserting drug into his body.
