Convicted of drug-related cases
On August 22, 2024, the Shah Alam High Court sentenced Yasin to life imprisonment and 16 lashes after finding him guilty of three drug-related charges. The sentencing includes eight years in prison and 10 lashes for possession of 193.7 grams of cannabis, life imprisonment and six lashes for cultivating 17 cannabis plants, and 10 months in prison for self-administration of a dangerous drug.
