Actor Farid avoids jail, fined for drug abuse

PUTRAJAYA: Actor-director Farid Kamil Zahari has been fined RM5,000 for using drugs four years ago after having his jail time set aside.

This was after the Court of Appeal allowed his appeal to set aside his nine-month jail sentence imposed by the Petaling Jaya Magistrate’s Court in 2019 and to be substituted by a fine.
