KUALA SELANGOR (BERNAMA) – Malaysian Police arrested an Indonesian man and seized 60.3 kilogrammes (kg) of drugs believed to be syabu and esctasy worth over MYR1.9 million during a raid at a fishermen’s jetty in Sungai Buloh, Jeram in Malaysia on September 22.
Kuala Selangor district Police Chief Superintendent Ramli Kasa said the raid was conducted at 2.30am after being tipped off by the public about the 21-year-old suspect’s suspicious activities at the jetty. “We sent our enforcement team to the spot and arrested the suspect who was believed to be in the process of shipping drugs to neighbouring countries.
“The police also seized 56 plastic packets labelled as Chinese tea but believed to contain syabu, weighing 58.9kg worth MYR1.85 million and a plastic bag containing 3,500 ecstasy pills weighing 1.4kg worth MYR59,000 in the bushes near the jetty,” he told a press conference yesterday. Ramli said the suspect probably used the bushes at the jetty to store the drugs before smuggling them by boat for the Indonesian market by sea.
Further investigations revealed that the suspect had entered the country on September 13 using a tourist visa while the suspect also tested positive for syabu.
“The suspect will be remanded for six days and investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952,” he added.
