Nasyid singer and composer Muhammad Yasin Sulaiman has been released and acquitted from all three drug charges after being found mentally unfit at the time of the incident. He will be placed in a mental health facility as ordered by the court.
PETALING JAYA: Nasyid singer and composer Muhammad Yasin Sulaiman was released and acquitted today from all three drug charges after the Sessions Court here found him mentally unfit at the time of the incident last year. However, Judge Faiz Dziyauddin ordered the singer to be placed in Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta, Perak for as long as permitted by the Sultan of Selangor as provided under Section 348(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC).
The court was satisfied that Muhammad Yasin committed the three offenses as charged but he was in a mentally unfit state to know that his actions were against the law. "However, the manic symptoms experienced by the accused at that time caused severe cognitive impairment to the point where the accused was unable to know that his actions were wrong.
