Farid Kamil wins drug abuse appeal, gets RM5,000 fine instead of jail


PUTRAJAYA: Actor-director Farid Kamil Zahari has been fined RM5,000 in default six months' jail for self-administering drugs four years ago.

This followed the Court of Appeal’s decision on Wednesday (Nov 30) in allowing his appeal to set aside his nine-month jail sentence imposed by the Petaling Jaya Magistrate’s Court in 2019, substituting the prison term with a fine instead.
