Timeline
Rozman bin Jusoh (1 January 1971 – 12 April 1996) was a Malaysian convicted drug trafficker.
He and his childhood friend Razali bin Mat Zin were both arrested in Singapore for two separate charges of trafficking 1.04 kg of marijuana (or cannabis) and 943.3g of the same substance, as a result of an undercover operation facilitated by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB).
It was decreed by Singapore law that trafficking 500g of marijuana or more was punishable by death.
During Rozman's trial, where he was jointly tried with Razali for the same charges, Rozman was assessed to have a sub-normal IQ of 74 and easily prone to manipulation, and it was argued by his lawyers that Rozman should not be held fully culpable for capital drug trafficking given that he was approached by an undercover officer to make a deal to sell the drugs to him and the evidence obtained by entrapment cannot be used against him.
Born in 1971 at the Malaysian state of Kelantan, Rozman bin Jusoh grew up with one eldest brother and four other siblings in an ethnic Malay family living at Kampung Semeruk.
His father worked as a farmer while his mother worked as a traditional masseuse.
He had a childhood friend named Razali bin Mat Zin, who went to Singapore to work since age 13.
Rozman studied up to Form Three, the third year of secondary school by Malaysian educational standards.
After that, he went to Singapore for an unspecified year to work as a labourer.
He was known to be educationally subnormal and seemed to be not quite intelligent, and it made his mother worry about him often about his career and studies.
On 25 November 1993, 22-year-old Rozman bin Jusoh was arrested for marijuana (or cannabis) trafficking.
A day earlier, Rozman met up with an undercover officer from the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB).
The officer, Tan Keng Ann, was ordered to arrange the meet-up with Rozman after the narcotics police received a tip-off on 23 November that a man was selling marijuana at a shopping mall at Upper Bukit Timah.
Tan pretended to be a buyer interested in purchasing marijuana from Rozman, who agreed to sell him the drugs the next day over a negotiated payment of S$1,800.
The next day, with the help of Razali, who escorted him on a motorcycle, Rozman arrived at the KFC fried chicken restaurant at an Upper Bukit Timah shopping centre, and meet up with Tan as per the arranged timing.
It was at that location where Rozman was ambushed by narcotics officers who were on prior standby.
A total of 1.04 kg of marijuana, which had a street worth of S$1,800, was found in Rozman's possession.
Soon after Rozman's arrest, Razali was also arrested for the crime, and a search on his motorcycle revealed another package of drugs, which contained 943.3g of marijuana.
On 28 November 1993, both Rozman and Razali were charged with two counts of trafficking marijuana, one for 1.04 kg and another for 943.3g respectively.
Under the Misuse of Drugs Act, if the amount of marijuana trafficked exceeded the capital threshold of 500g, the trafficker would face the mandatory death penalty if convicted.
Tan Keng Ann, the undercover cop who contributed to the capture of Rozman, won commendations from the CNB.
The joint trial of both Rozman bin Jusoh and Razali bin Mat Zin was conducted at the High Court on 3 October 1994, with the trial judge M P H Rubin hearing the case.
During his trial, a psychiatric report revealed that Rozman's IQ was 74, which was below the average normal IQ of 90, and was categorized as subnormal and borderline intelligence.
It was further revealed that Rozman may be easily prone to manipulation of others, which could have affected him into selling the drugs to the undercover officer Tan Keng Ann.
From this evidence, Rozman's lawyer Mohamed Muzammil Mohamed argued that Rozman should not be held fully culpable for the two charges of capital drug trafficking, given that he was approached by officers in the first place to smuggle and sell drugs, and he was being persuaded to do so as per his tendency to be easily directed by others to do something he may or may not fully intend to.
He also argued that it would be unsafe to convict Rozman based on the entrapment evidence against him.
In rebuttal, the trial prosecutor Chong Chee Hong argued that Rozman was able to discern the difference of right and wrong and was fully aware of the magnitude of his actions despite the intelligence issue of Rozman's case.
Razali, on the other hand, totally denied any involvement in the crime despite the prosecution's assertion and evidence that he was a willing and intentional participant of Rozman's crime.
Razali stated that he only rode the motorcycle that day to escort Rozman to the fried chicken restaurant out of goodwill for his childhood friend and fellow villager from Kelantan, and was unfortunately implicated by Rozman's individual actions of smuggling the marijuana to sell.
Extracted from Justice Rubin's judgement in Public Prosecutor v. Rozman bin Jusoh and Another, [1994] SGHC 251:
"It was… clear from the evidence that the CNB agent and the undercover CNB officer were more than mere agents, and had, in fact, undertaken a substantially active role in persuading [Rozman] to sell them drugs… [Rozman] was a person without guile and would not have embarked upon this expedition for a mere $100 if not for his feeble mind which seemed to have been overborne by the CNB agent and the CNB operative… There was a grave doubt raised as to whether he could be criminally responsible to warrant the mandatory death sentence, in light of his intellectual disability and the real possibility of being manipulated."
On 7 March 1995, Justice M P H Rubin delivered his verdict.
In his judgement, Justice Rubin accepted the defence's evidence that Rozman indeed had subnormal intelligence and it sufficiently impaired him to the point of being easily prone to manipulation by others and mental responsibility for the crime, and that he was indeed coerced into selling drugs by the narcotics police's efforts for their purpose to detect and arrest suspected drug smugglers.
Justice Rubin also stated that based on these factors, which he viewed as unopposed by the prosecution, as well as the entrapment evidence obtained from the undercover operation, it would be unsafe to convict Rozman of these two charges of drug trafficking and subject him to the mandatory sentence of death.
Despite so, Justice stressed that the narcotics police did not have any wrongdoing when arresting Rozman and conducting the necessary operations to nab possible traffickers, and he commented that it was merely an "unfortunate" case where a drug trafficker they caught happened to be intellectually subnormal.
The judge also accepted the second defendant Razali's evidence that he only wanted to give a ride to his childhood friend Rozman and never knew about the presence of marijuana in his possession during the whole time he was with Rozman and while escorting him on his motorcycle.
Initially, Rozman was sentenced to a seven-year term of imprisonment for two reduced charges of drug possession in March 1995, but the prosecution's appeal in August 1995 led to Rozman being sentenced to death for the original charges and he was eventually executed on 12 April 1996.
As for Rozman's accomplice Razali, he was acquitted of all charges at the end of his trial before he was sentenced to be hanged upon the prosecution's appeal.
However, 29-year-old Tan died in June 1996 due to his 24-year-old fiancée Cheng Jun, an immigrant from China, shooting him accidentally without knowing her fiancé's gun was actually loaded.
Cheng, who was originally charged with murder, was jailed for sixteen months for a reduced charge of causing death by a rash act.
