PUTRAJAYA: Singer-composer Yasin escaped life imprisonment and 16 strokes of the cane after the Court of Appeal allowed his final appeal against the drug charges he faced the last three years.

A three-judge panel chaired by Justice Che Mohd Ruzima Ghazali allowed the appeal of the singer, whose real name is Muhammad Yasin Sulaiman, and set aside the Shah Alam High Court’s sentence.
