Kuala Lumpur, 20th September 2022 - Vegetables, fruits, seafood and even rice are being used to camouflage drugs being brought into the country, with some drug syndicates even using p-hailing services both to smuggle and distribute the drugs.
In
the age of the Internet, transactions are also being done over social media sites.
The smugglers are switching tactics all the time, making it challenging for anti-narcotics policemen.
Malaysia’s land border with Thailand, which stretches for 576km from Kuala Perlis in Perlis to Pengkalan Kubur in Kelantan, is also full of “lorong tikus” or secret passages for smugglers to hide and transport their contraband.
“Along the 105km Kelantan-Thailand border, almost 200 unofficial bases are being used by smugglers to transport goods, including drugs into the country,” said Deputy Inspector-General of Police, DIG Tan Sri Razarudin Husain.
