The defence minister's 31-year-old son was among those arrested during a police raid in early January.

PETALING JAYA: Defence Minister Mohamad Sabu today confirmed that his son who was arrested for a drug offence early this year will be charged in court.

“No one is above the law, my son included. I just hope he will get a fair trial,” the Amanah chief told FMT today. Saiful Islam, 31, was one of two men who reportedly tested positive for ganja during a police operation in Kuala Lumpur which nabbed over 100 people.“I am committed to the principle that no one is above the law. But I also hold dearly to the principle that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty in a court of law,” he told FMT on Jan 5.

At the Dewan Rakyat today, Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said investigation papers involving the son of a federal minister had been submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
