KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 10 — Police have busted a major drug syndicate operating across Klang Valley, seizing RM11.43 million worth of methamphetamine and ketamine in multiple raids on February 9.
Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (JSJN) director Datuk Seri Khaw Kok Chin said a 31-year-old suspect was arrested at a condominium parking area in Batu Caves. A search of his Toyota Fortuner revealed 51.825kg of methamphetamine packed in Chinese tea bags and 32.51kg of ketamine hidden in the car’s bonnet.
The suspect later led police to his rented luxury condominium, where authorities discovered 36.991kg of methamphetamine and 139.604kg of ketamine stored in gunny sacks and bags. In total, police seized 88.816kg of methamphetamine and 171.755kg of ketamine, with a street value of RM11.43 million—enough to supply over 1.02 million drug users.
The police also confiscated RM1.1 million in cash under the Dangerous Drugs (Forfeiture of Property) Act 1988. The syndicate had been operating since December 2024, renting the condo for RM2,500 per month as a distribution hub. The suspect, who has no prior criminal record, was reportedly paid a RM10,000 monthly salary plus RM2,000 per delivery.
Another Drug Syndicate Busted
In a separate operation, police shut down a drug-processing syndicate producing MDMA-laced juice. They arrested five individuals—four Chinese men and one Malay woman, aged 36 to 46—and seized RM1.45 million worth of drugs, including heroin, methamphetamine, MDMA powder, yaba pills, ecstasy, marijuana, and vape liquid.
This syndicate had been supplying drugs to Klang Valley entertainment centers since October 2024. The suspects were arrested at a rented condo in Taman Suntex, Cheras, which cost RM2,300 per month.
Unlike the first suspect, these individuals have prior drug-related criminal records. They are now being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which carries a mandatory death sentence or life imprisonment with up to 12 strokes of the cane if convicted.
“This time, the law will be more painful,” Khaw warned.
