Prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused had conscious possession (knowledge) of the drugs found in the car given the car's accessibility to others, absence of corroborative evidence (negative fingerprint results), the unexplained non‑production of a relevant potential witness (Ah Heng) and that the accused's conduct on arrest was plausibly explicable by panic; therefore no prima facie case was made and the accused must be acquitted.
