Seok Hann, 35, was found guilty of trafficking in a total of 6, 725.3gm of drugs.
High Court judge Justice Mohtarudin Baki stated "I did not have any choice but impose a death sentence on you. There is not a single judge who is happy to impose a death sentence. I have searched for opportunities not to impose the death sentence on you but failed."
Seok was said to have committed the offence at a house in Faber Indah in Taman Desa at midnight on Sept 9, 2001. The court was told during the trial that a police team raided the house and found the drugs in a bag.
