International Drug Syndicate Busted in Malaysia, RM1.44 Million Worth of Drugs Seized

Malaysian authorities have successfully dismantled an international drug syndicate suspected of using maritime routes to distribute narcotics to neighboring nations. The operation, conducted in Port Dickson, involved two raids early yesterday morning, leading to the confiscation of drugs and vape liquids valued at RM1.44 million.

According to Negeri Sembilan Police Chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad, the operation commenced around 3 a.m. Police apprehended two Indonesian nationals, aged 32 and 34, who were on a speedboat without a registration number near the coast of Kampung Kuala Lukut. During the initial raid, authorities discovered 10 packages of suspected methamphetamine, weighing 12 kilograms and estimated to be worth approximately RM600,000.

In addition to the methamphetamine, the police also seized 100 cartridges of vape liquid believed to contain ketamine. The speedboat seized is suspected to have been utilized for transporting drugs out of Malaysia via the sea route to Dumai, Indonesia. This bust highlights the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat transnational drug trafficking networks operating within the region.
