KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Wee Meng Chee, better known as Namewee, has been acquitted by the Magistrate’s Court of two drug-related charges.
Magistrate Khairunnisak Hassni granted a discharge and acquittal after the prosecution informed the court that the Attorney General’s Chambers had accepted Namewee’s second representation to drop the charges.
His first representation, submitted last month, was rejected.
In January, Namewee claimed trial to possessing 0.78g of sildenafil, an offence under Section 9(1) of the Poisons Act 1952, as well as an amended charge of possessing 1.57g of methamphetamine under Section 39A(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
The offences were allegedly committed at a hotel near Jalan Conlay at about 4.30pm on Oct 22 last year.
