Police bust major heroin syndicate in northern Malaysia, RM4.13m drugs seized
SHAH ALAM: Police have dismantled a heroin base drug distribution network operating in northern Malaysia after arresting three men in coordinated raids across the Klang Valley and Penang. The operation, led by Bukit Aman's Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID), uncovered 47.526 kg of heroin base and 920 grams of heroin worth RM4.13 million. Selangor Police Chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan confirmed the arrests on July 12, following raids in Subang Jaya, Seri Kembangan, and Permatang Pauh. The first suspect was detained in USJ 19/4, Subang Jaya, where officers found 14.52 kg of heroin base and 920 grams of heroin hidden in a car compartment. A second raid in Seri Kembangan led to the seizure of 22.55 kg of heroin base, while a third operation in Permatang Pauh uncovered 7.456 kg of the drug. The Penang suspect is believed to be the syndicate's mastermind, sourcing heroin from a neighbouring country before distributing it via two transporters, who earned RM4,000 per trip. Hussein described heroin base as the 'mother of drugs,' explaining its role as a raw material processed into higher-grade narcotics. The suspects face charges under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, with remands spanning five to six days. - Bernama

Negeri Sembilan KPDN fines RM91,700 in 369 cases since Jan 1
SEREMBAN: The Negeri Sembilan Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) has uncovered 369 violations since January 1, resulting in compounds totalling RM91,700. State chief enforcement officer Faizah Othman confirmed that 249 offences fell under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011, while 120 cases were linked to the Weights and Measures Act 1972. In a recent operation targeting durian traders, 41 premises were inspected, with 12 traders fined RM2,500 collectively. 'These traders failed to display price tags and used expired weighing equipment,' Faizah said. Over 30 enforcement officers from KPDN branches in Port Dickson and Kuala Pilah participated in the inspections. Faizah reminded traders, particularly durian sellers, to ensure their weighing scales bear valid verification stickers. Non-compliance could lead to penalties under the Weights and Measures Act 1972. 'The durian season runs until August. All traders, including seasonal sellers, must adhere to regulations to protect consumer rights,' she added. - Bernama

Missing British teen told family not to search for him
SHAH ALAM: Police have revealed that British teenager David Balisong, 17, sent a final email to his family urging them not to search for him before he went missing in Malaysia. Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan stated that the message was sent to his mother on July 9, marking the last known communication. 'In the email, he reassured his family not to worry or try to find him. He also wished them success and apologised for what he was about to do,' Hussein said during a press conference. Authorities confirmed that Balisong gave no indication of his plans to return. Investigators have recorded statements from six individuals, including the teen's mother, a bus driver, ticket counter staff, a currency exchange worker, and police personnel. CCTV footage last captured Balisong at KL Sentral's lobby around 10.09 am on June 7. 'There is no record of him having left the country, and search efforts are still ongoing,' Hussein added. Balisong, a high-achieving student from Cheadle, Greater Manchester, reportedly left home early on June 6, telling his brother he had school matters to attend to. Instead, he boarded a flight alone from Manchester to Kuala Lumpur. His phone has since been switched off, with no further responses to emails. - Bernama
