KUALA LUMPUR – The magistrates’ court here today acquitted and discharged musician Jason Jonathan Lo, better known as Jason Lo, from a charge of self-administration of drugs, three years ago.

Magistrate Mohamad Fared Abdul Latif acquitted the accused, 47, who is also a businessman, after finding that the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case at the end of the prosecution case against the accused.

“Therefore, the accused is acquitted and discharged from the charge without having to enter defence and the (RM2,500) bail will be returned.

“The grounds of judgment will be provided on or before June 30,” said Fared.

Deputy public prosecutor Nur Diana Mohamad Saad appeared for the prosecution while Lo was represented by lawyer Datuk Hariharan Tara Singh. – Bernama, June 24, 2022
