PETALING JAYA: A former ambassador to Indonesia, who was arrested together with his son on allegations of cultivating cannabis in Janda Baik, Pahang, has been released.

Inspector An Afifa Baharudin had sought the remand, while the former diplomat was represented by Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah and Rahmat Hazlan.

“The police sought to apply for a second remand for another seven days, but this was not granted by the magistrate after he was satisfied that there was no evidence to implicate him with any offences, among others,” said Muhammad Shafee yesterday. The ex-diplomat was detained during a police raid on May 21, while his 53-year-old son was detained in Shah Alam on May 23.
