  "summary": "Indonesian actor Samudera Hurley Taylor was fined RM2,300 by a magistrate's court in Malaysia for self-administering drugs at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The 24-year-old pleaded guilty to the offence in July, after a pathology test returned positive for THC. The court also ordered him to serve four months in jail if he failed to pay the fine. Samudera had been required to remain in Malaysia pending the pathology report after his initial arrest. He subsequently paid the fine and returned to Indonesia, citing a desire to see his ailing mother.",
