WASHINGTON, April 27 — A man accused of targeting US administration officials at a Washington event has been arrested after allegedly opening fire, injuring a Secret Service agent.
BENTONG, July 3 — The Pahang Customs Department has successfully intercepted two smuggling attempts involving e-waste and aluminium scrap imported from abroad, seizing seven containers worth approximately RM4.4 million at North Port, Port Klang.
Director Mohd Asri Seman said the simultaneous operations, conducted on May 21, were led by the Bentong Customs Enforcement Division in collaboration with the Selangor Department of Environment.
“In the first raid at 1.15pm, three 40-foot containers were found to hold 46,726kg of e-waste, valued at RM700,890. These were believed to have been brought in without the necessary permits or customs declarations,” he said at a press conference today.
The second raid uncovered four containers carrying 105,760kg of aluminium flakes, estimated at RM3.7 million, which were falsely declared as other goods.
According to Mohd Asri, such imports must be approved by the Standards and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM) and are subject to regulations by the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI).
He explained that the smuggling tactic involved misdeclaring the items as copper concentrate to evade import permit requirements.
Both cases are currently under investigation under Section 135(1)(a) of the Customs Act 1967. — Bernama
