Aide confirms Mat Sabu’s son among those nabbed in police raid

(Bernama) – An aide to Mohamad Sabu has confirmed that the defence minister’s son was among two men arrested in connection with the use of illegal drugs, during a police raid on an entertainment outlet.

According to Bernama, the raid on the outlet on Jalan Ampang was conducted by a team from the Dang Wangi police headquarters at about 12.30am.

When contacted by FMT, Mohamad’s political secretary Azhar Che Mat Dali confirmed the arrest of the 31-year-old, adding that the minister was currently at the Dang Wangi police station.

“Everyone is innocent before the law until proven guilty,” he told FMT, adding that the minister was committed to allowing the proper legal channels to deal with his son’s case.

A total of 101 individuals, 55 women and 46 men, were screened during the operation last night.

The minister’s son was reported to have tested positive for ganja (cannabis).

Mohamad, better known as Mat Sabu, was the PAS deputy president before he formed his own party, Amanah, which joined Pakatan Harapan to topple Barisan Nasional in the elections last year.
