Inilah kes klasik dimana orang baik hendak menolong kawan mungkin akan dihukum bunuh. Mahkamah tidak menerima alasan yang beg itu kepunyaan orang lain. Pengajaran, jangan bawa beg kepunyaan oirang lain TANPA sendiri melihat apa isinya.

SIBU: An owner of a drug store and his wife from here were arrested last Tuesday in Guangzhou after they were allegedly found to carry drugs as they were boarding a plane.
A brother of the businessman confirmed their arrests with a reporter here yesterday evening, saying his brother and sister-in-law were in trouble in China.
He did not say what trouble it was but said the couple’s son had rushed over to see how he could get his parents out of “trouble”.
He said friends and relatives in China were helping too; they hoped their efforts would be successful.
Reporters gathered from sources close to the family, that the couple, in their 60s, were arrested because of the drugs in their luggage.
The nature and amount of the suspected illegal drugs are not immediately known, but the sources feared the possession was “troublesome”.
One source claimed the couple was helping a friend from Sibu to carry a parcel, and this was what got them into trouble.
The source said the Guangzhou police found the drugs in this parcel. The source added the couple and another passenger had boarded the plane.
A tip off led to the search of the three on the plane, and all three were arrested.
The identity of the third suspect is not immediately known. The source said the family of the couple had hired a lawyer in China. They hoped to get the couple out of the mess soon.
China imposes strict punishment on those convicted of drug trafficking. Under the Chinese laws, trafficking of 50 grams or more of drugs is punishable by long prison terms. Those convicted of smuggling larger amounts receive life sentences or death.
China’s efforts in clamping down hard have received wide media coverage. President Xi Jinping said in June China would “harshly crack down” on drugs, state media reported.
