Di dalam kes Khairuddin bin Hassan v PP [2010] 6 MLJ 145, dadah cannabis seberat 2660 gram telah yang dijumpai di dalam sebuah kereta. Ia dijumpai dalam sebuah beg yang terletak di atas alas kaki tempat duduk penumpang hadapan kereta yang diduduki perayu. Antara isu yang perlu diputuskan oleh Mahkamah Persekutuan adalah sama ada kedekatan kepada dadah dan tingkah laku perayu melarikan boleh merumuskan bahawa perayu mempunyai milikan dadah tersebut. Mahkamah Persekutuan memutuskan; “[10] In this case, the learned trial judge had made a finding of fact that the appellant, and he alone, was in physical possession of the bag containing the drugs. The appellant's conduct of running away has a nexus to what is now a fact in issue, viz that he was in physical possession of that bag. This in turn gives rise to an inference that he had knowledge of the drugs in the bag. It is thus up to the appellant himself to explain his conduct, and not for the court to offer or suggest one. Chan Kwok Keung & Anor v. The Queen [1990] 3 CLJ Rep 386; [1990] 1 CLJ 411; (Rep) is authority for the proposition that an act of running away may be viewed as an admission of guilt. The learned trial judge was therefore not wrong in making that inference in the circumstances of this case, where the drugs was found to be in the appellant's physical possession. … [12] As regards the proximity of the drugs to the appellant, this too is a relevant fact. This principle is derived from this passage in Public Prosecutor v. Foo Jua Eng [1965] CLJU 127; [1966] 1 MLJ 197; [1965] 1 LNS 127, where HRH Raja Azlan Shah stated: With regard to the mental element, the learned magistrate rightly directed his mind that knowledge or consciousness would depend on the surrounding circumstances. However, he failed to direct his mind adequately on the facts. He directed his mind to the circumstances when the respondent tried to close the door on PW1. But he failed to consider the other circumstance which, taken together, may well be that the element of possession was proved. That circumstance is the physical proximity of the respondent to the exhibit in question. [13] As such we cannot find fault with the finding of the learned trial judge that, based on both the elements of the conduct of the appellant and his proximity to the recovered drugs, coupled with his failure to give any satisfactory explanation, he was in mens rea possession of the drugs. This was an inference made by the learned trial judge based on sound factual findings which is now confirmed by the Court of Appeal. We find no justification in disturbing those findings.”
