And then there were the syringes which were found in the<br />
bathroom. These 2 syringes were <strong>no</strong>t new and had been used at<br />
some point of time as the chemist found traces of ephedrine in<br />
them. In the course of the cross-examination SP6 admitted that<br />
those syringes were for drug taking (Q: Mengikut pengalaman<br />
kamu syringe itu untuk apa? J: Untuk mengambil dadah). It is<br />
undeniable that that there was some evidence supplied by the<br />
prosecution through SP6 (page 680 of the Appeal Record) to<br />
establish the respondent as a drug taker. On the above reasoning<br />
there was a high degree of probability that those syringes were<br />
part of his paraphernalia, and the 2.23 grams of methamphetamine<br />
were set aside to satisfy his drug cravings. To wind it up, if those<br />
drugs found in the bedroom were meant for possible self-<br />
consumption, to deliberately or even erroneously lump them with<br />
those found at the store room would seriously taint the trafficking<br />
charge. No amount of explanation by the prosecution could save<br />
the tainted charge.<br />
We <strong>no</strong>w discuss the drugs found at the store room. With the Hilton<br />
statements being held inadmissible, then the testimony adduced<br />
by the prosecution that the respondent led the police to the drugs<br />
at the store room on the ground floor of that 3 storey house, must<br />
be rejected. Nothing incriminating found there could be attributed<br />
to the respondent. It would be the police who led him to the store<br />
room and there recovered a black bag (P14) from a small<br />
compartment in which were retrieved drugs subsequently<br />
confirmed to be methamphetamine. There the police seized some<br />
other items too. Unless there was some evidence that could<br />
inculpate the respondent which led to the discovery of the drugs
