Kota Kinabalu: A 27-year-old unemployed Filipino claimed trial in the High Court here to trafficking 659.2gm of syabu.

Paperless Azwan Abdullah, who was brought before Judicial Commissioner Maslinda @ Linda Mohd Ainal, pleaded not guilty to committing the offence on June 27, 2023, at 10.30am, at the reception counter of J&T Express CDC Kepayan, Jalan Lintas Kepayan, here.

The court set July 16 for pre-trial case management.

Azwan was ordered to be further remanded as the charges against him have no provision for bail.
