The North Jakarta District Court sentenced Nio Ka Heng, alias A.
Heng alias Gumala Halim, 49, to 19 years imprisonment and fined
him Rp 500 million (US$54,945) for being in possession of two
kilograms of shabu-shabu (crystal methamphetamine) and 2,000

appeal. A. Heng was arrested on March 3 at around 6 a.m. at his
