KUCHING: The 11th Batallion of the General Operations Force (PGA), Kuching, uncovered an illegal medicine packaging facility at a house during an operation dubbed ‘’Op Libas’’ here yesterday.
Its commanding officer, Supt Rosdi Inai, said during the 4pm raid at the illegal facility in Jalan Stutong Stampin Baru here, PGA personnel also seized the illegal medicines, believed to have been smuggled from China, worth RM957,812.
A 42-year-old man who was believed to be the caretaker of the premises was also detained.
“He failed to show any documents and permits to package the medicines.
“Based on the information obtained, the goods were to be packaged and then marketed locally,” he said in a statement here today.
