Convictions were unsafe because essential evidential and procedural safeguards were not observed: multiple written statements and exhibits were admitted without compliance with s65B formalities or without recorded admissions under s65C, Inspector Ong's statement contained inseparable hearsay, photographs and exhibit identifications were not properly grounded to the raid, and the prosecution failed to prove presence/participation of most appellants beyond reasonable doubt; accordingly convictions were set aside and a retrial ordered for the 1st appellant.
