Controversies

Drug possession

In October 2005, while shooting for a local drama Siti Aishah, Dynas and several crew members were arrested on suspicion of drug possession during a raid at a house in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.[10] She was released on bail and subsequently tried at the Kota Bharu Magistrates Court.[11] The charge against her was later dropped after one of the crew members plead guilty to the drug possession charge.[12]

gollark: It's very elegant and minimal.
gollark: Lua is very cool but kind of annoying ecosystemwise.
gollark: It is inevitable.
gollark: npm is basically the standard package management tool for Node.js and browsers now and I said I didn't know about what Java did.
gollark: Possibly more so since at least it installs into a consistent location.
