Man arrested for selling yaba pills for three years

Malaysian authorities have dismantled a drug-selling operation that had been active for three years in Pasir Mas. A 34-year-old man was apprehended by the Pasukan Gerakan Am (PGA) in a raid on a secluded shed in Kampung Longgel, Lemal.

The suspect was caught selling yaba pills, a type of methamphetamine, from the makeshift location. Police observed the man for nearly an hour before he opened the shed, leading to his arrest. Inside, officers discovered 600 yaba pills with an estimated street value of RM6,000, concealed above the structure.

During initial questioning, the suspect confessed to using yaba for 14 years and selling it for the past three. He claimed to work for an individual who supplied him with 100 pills daily, which he sold for RM10 each. The suspect reportedly earned RM100 per day for his role in the operation, which ran from noon to 10 p.m. daily.

Further tests revealed the suspect tested positive for methamphetamine. A background check uncovered nine previous offenses under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, including serious charges like Section 39B. The case is being investigated under Sections 39B and 15(1)(a) of the same act.
