The Court affirmed the conviction because the prosecution proved identity of the seized drugs via an unbroken chain of custody and positive identification by witnesses and chemist analysis confirming 299.09g of cannabis; the appellant's actual possession and knowledge were properly inferred from direct evidence (holding the bag, attempt to discard, NRIC in the bag) and the statutory presumption under s37(da) was not rebutted; discrepancies and alleged investigative omissions were immaterial and did not negate the prima facie case.
