RM3.6m worth of drugs seized at Felda Sungkai

IPOH: Police arrested two men and seized drugs worth RM3.6 million at a house in Felda Sungkai, Muallim said Datuk Hasnan Hassan.
Acting Perak police chief Datuk Hasnan Hassan said seized 180,000 WY methamphetamine pills or "pil kuda" during the raid on Tuesday.
Hasnan said the two suspects aged 35 who have no previous records are not settlers of the scheme .
"They were working as a supervisor and trader ... we are looking for other members of the syndicate," he told reporters here today.
The men who were tested positive for amphetamine have been remanded until April 17 to facilitate investigation.
The case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drug Act 1952, which carries a mandatory death sentence upon conviction.
Hasnan said the 180,000 pills were packed in 100 packets.
"We are investigating the source of drugs into the state as the seizure of the pills had gone down from 2015.
"We recovered 3,240 pills two years ago and the figure dropped to 2,591 last year ... there was no seizure this year until the latest case," he said.
Hasnan said police were trying to determine if Perak is being used as entry point and transit for the drugs to be distributed to other places.
"We believe the drugs are not from Malaysia but from a neighbouring country," he said.
