(Bernama pic) GEORGE TOWN : Penang police arrested four men, including a Vietnamese national, and seized 112.1kg of ganja worth RM3.72 million in two raids in Bukit Mertajam this week. Acting Penang police chief Alwi Zainal Abidin said a team from the state narcotics criminal investigation department launched an operation from 10am on Tuesday until 3am yesterday, resulting in the arrest of the four men aged between 31 and 39. 'In the first raid, police arrested two men in a hotel room and another man in the hotel lobby who was acting as a transporter. 'An inspection uncovered a canvas bag containing 9,232g of ganja and 4,238g of ganja buds,' he said in a press conference at the Penang contingent police headquarters today. Following interrogation and the gathering of intelligence, police also arrested the Vietnamese man in Seberang Jaya and brought him to a nearby homestay, which was used by the syndicate as a drug storage facility for smuggling and distribution. Alwi said during the inspection of the homestay, police seized 105 packages of ganja buds weighing 97.7kg. Investigations revealed that the syndicate had been renting the condominium-type unit since last week for RM2,800 a month. Investigations also revealed that the syndicate had sourced its supply of ganja buds from international drug trafficking networks in neighbouring countries, smuggling them into Malaysia through land routes for distribution in Penang and Kuala Lumpur. Alwi said the man acting as a transporter was paid between RM3,000 and RM4,000 for each delivery, and was believed to have completed two trips before being arrested. 'Intelligence indicates that the syndicate had been active since last March. We are now tracking down the mastermind and other members of the network, who are believed to still be in the state,' he added. Police also seized RM1,300 in cash, and three vehicles – a Toyota Alphard, a Honda City, and a Yamaha Y16ZR motorcycle – with a total estimated value of RM199,300. The drugs seized are believed to be enough to supply approximately 230,000 addicts. 'The three local men tested positive for drugs and have records of between seven and 13 criminal and drug offences. Some were only recently released from prison for similar offences,' he said. All four suspects have been remanded for seven days until July 29 to assist in investigations under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.

Cops identify 6 M'sians held in Cambodia for bid to smuggle cannabis
Bukit Aman NCID director Hussein Omar Khan said police are investigating any possible link between the six men and an international syndicate. PETALING JAYA : Police have identified the six Malaysians who were detained by Cambodian authorities at Phnom Penh International Airport on July 16 for attempting to smuggle nearly 62kg of cannabis to the UK. Bukit Aman narcotics crime investigation department director Hussein Omar Khan said the suspects were all men, aged between 27 and 70, Bernama reported. He said police had yet to receive formal notification from the Cambodian authorities but were working with the foreign ministry and the Malaysian embassy in Phnom Penh to gather more information. 'Further investigation will be carried out to identify the syndicates involved,' he was quoted as saying. According to the Phnom Penh Post, all six men were arrested by Cambodia's Anti-Drug Department in collaboration with customs and airport authorities, with the drugs found in four suitcases. The group had intended to transport the drugs from Phnom Penh to Hong Kong, and then to London, the report said. They are said to have been charged under Article 40 of Cambodia's Law on Drug Control.

We're not out to punish the dead, Anwar says on action to recover funds
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim hit out at the opposition which he said had defended those who amassed 'billions of ringgit' without a clear source of income. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today defended the action taken against prominent figures, including those who have died, saying the government's priority is to recover misappropriated funds. He said there were some, including in the opposition, who had issues with acting against those who had accumulated wealth through dubious means if these suspects were either old or dead. 'We are not out to punish the dead. We just want to recover the funds that have been embezzled,' he said at the finance ministry's monthly assembly in Putrajaya. He also hit out at the opposition which he said had defended those who amassed 'billions of ringgit' without a clear source of income. 'Yet when he dies, he leaves behind RM2 billion. This is unacceptable,' he added. Anwar did not identify anyone in particular but is believed to be alluding to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) probe into the family of the late Daim Zainuddin, a former finance minister. MACC chief Azam Baki previously said the commission was considering seizing over RM2 billion in undeclared assets linked to Daim, his family, and proxies. In January last year, Daim claimed trial to failing to comply with the terms of an asset declaration notice issued by MACC. He was accused of failing to disclose his ownership of 38 companies, 19 land plots in five states, six properties, two unit trust accounts, and seven luxury cars. MACC said he had asked for five deadline extensions but still failed to comply. The prosecution withdrew the charges against him following his death on Nov 13 last year, and the court granted an order discharging and acquitting him.
