KOTA KINABALU: The police
have crippled an international drug syndicate based in Sabah with the arrest of
13 people and seized a total of 74.98 kilograms of syabu worth about RM15
million after stumbling on a drug processing laboratory.
All 74 plastic packets that
contained the drugs were found locked in two iron safes in an apartment at
Jalam Kolombong here on Feb 4.
The police also seized
numerous items used by the syndicate, namely 47.7 kilograms of ephedrine
precursor material to process the drugs, 198 bottles of red phosphorus, as well
as chemicals such as acetone and magnesium sulfate.
Royal Malaysia Police
narcotics director Datuk Noor Rashid Ibrahim said six raids were conducted by
the police from Bukit Aman and Kota Kinabalu after months of surveillance and
investigations.
“Investigations revealed
that there was an international drug syndicate operating in Sabah by locals and
members from Hong Kong who had set up a laboratory to process the drugs.
“Six separate raids were
made and the police have detained 13 men, including three citizens from Hong
Kong, aged 25 to 53.
“One of the suspects is also
a wanted man who calls himself ‘King Syabu’, and was sought after by the
police, and who had been working with the three suspects from Hong Kong,” he
said at a press conference at the city police headquarters in Karamunsing here
yesterday.

Jawilah Noor Rashid.
The police also seized three
luxury vehicles, namely a Porsche, a BMW and a Mercedes Benz, and cash
amounting to RM31,946 and HKD28,880.
He said the police believed
the syabu and the materials used to process the drugs were brought in a
container from Africa to Kota Kinabalu.
He also said the drugs
seized were the biggest this year and the case would be investigated under
Section 39B of the Dangerous Drug Act 1952, which carries the death penalty
upon conviction. (BP)
This is a good work done by the police as they try to secure the people from harmful substances like this. It shows the police are really work hard as expected.
ReplyDeleteGood job to the police for doing their best in confiscating the drugs.
DeleteUsaha masih diperlukan agar aktiviti haram ini dapat dikurangkan.
DeleteThese are their responsibilities.
DeleteI encourage the police to try even harder in order to capture other culprits who might as well be involved. Investigations revealed that there was an international drug syndicate operating in Sabah by locals and members from Hong Kong who had set up a laboratory to process the drugs. Six separate raids were made and the police have detained 13 men, including three citizens from Hong Kong, aged 25 to 53.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the 13 men who were arrested will be sentenced to the suitable punishment.
DeleteGolongan ini harus dihukum.

ReplyDeleteLet the law take effect as to what action should be implemented to the perpetrators of such crime. As I suppose the case would be investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drug Act 1952, which carries the death penalty upon conviction.
ReplyDeleteOnce the 13 men were proven guilty, they can be sentenced to death penalty.
DeleteTindakan ketat harus dikenakan agar isu yang sama tidak berterusan dan berulangi.
DeleteIf all 74 plastic packets that contained the drugs were found locked in two iron safes in an apartment at Jalam Kolombong here on Feb 4. The police should investigate further as it is suspected that such items might be found in other residing locations.
ReplyDeleteFurther investigation is needed, I'm sure the police knew what it the right thing to do.
DeleteBertindak mengikut prosedur yang betul.
DeleteIf the materials used to process the drugs are brought into the country as said in the article "He said the police believed the syabu and the materials used to process the drugs were brought in a container from Africa to Kota Kinabalu", then I suppose the police force need to work in hand with the immigration and customs of the land to avoid illegal imports of items or goods. Proper attention is needed to inspect all goods into the country.
ReplyDeleteSerious attention needs to be given to this drug trafficking case.
