The court accepted the chemist's report establishing the substance as cannabis weighing 299.09g and found the chain of custody intact. The accused was observed holding the sling bag, attempted to dispose of it, and the accused's NRIC was found in the bag; these facts established actual possession and knowledge. Possession of more than 200g invoked the statutory presumption of trafficking under s37(da) DDA which the accused failed to rebut on balance of probabilities. Accordingly the accused was convicted under s39B(1) DDA.
