Police seize RM10.5 million contraband in Kuching raids
KUCHING: The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) uncovered contraband worth over RM10 million in a major crackdown on smuggling activities in Kuching, Sarawak. The operation, conducted yesterday, targeted two storage facilities used to hoard illegal goods. Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order Department (KDNKA) director Datuk Seri Azmi Abu Kassim confirmed the arrests of three individuals—two locals and an Indonesian national—aged between 30 and 64. The seized items, valued at RM10,500,028, included large quantities of liquor and cigarettes. The raids, codenamed Op Taring Alpha 1 and Op Taring Alpha 2, were executed with support from the Sarawak Brigade General Operations Force (PGA). At the first location, authorities recovered 648 litres of liquor, 90,000 white cigarettes, 51,200 kretek cigarettes, and a mobile phone. The second raid yielded 4,190,000 white cigarettes, 24,320 kretek cigarettes, a van, and another mobile phone. Azmi highlighted that since January 1 this year, Bukit Aman KDNKA has conducted 155 operations nationwide, leading to 236 arrests and seizures worth RM443.85 million. He urged public cooperation in reporting smuggling activities, stressing their economic and security risks. 'Smuggling activities and the sale of untaxed goods not only impact the nation's revenue, but could also pose a threat to border security if not tackled comprehensively,' said Azmi. - Bernama

Selangor MB: Probe into Putra Heights blast transparent, independent
CYBERJAYA — The investigation into the gas pipeline fire in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya, on April 1 was carried out independently and transparently, without any interference from the Selangor government, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari. He said the Selangor government was not directly involved in the investigation, but only served as one of the 212 witnesses. Amirudin said the focus now was on the special committee set up to study the report on the incident and recommend several measures to the state government. 'The reality is, the investigation was conducted completely independently, with no interference from the state government. So, if there are parties disputing it, that does not mean the report is inaccurate,' he said. He said this at a press conference after officiating the Publicity and Public Participation Programme for the Draft Local Plan of the Sepang Municipal Council, Selangor 2035 (Replacement), here today. Amirudin said the full report of the investigation into the gas pipeline fire incident would be made available to the public once approval is obtained from the relevant authority. 'I will make the investigation public once permission is obtained and (anyone) may review it to find out who is responsible and (the report) contains an explanation of that. 'We should not assume that there is interference in every matter. (Such) perceptions must be backed by clear and scientific evidence,' he said. Amirudin stressed that the state government had given the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) full space to carry out the investigation, including summoning witnesses such as the developer, security guards and excavator operators. '(At present) police investigations have found no evidence of negligence or foul play,' he said. Amirudin had earlier said that Selangor would establish a special committee to formulate long-term strategies and propose new regulations to prevent incidents such as the gas pipeline fire in Putra Heights from recurring. Police have classified the gas pipeline explosion incident as No Further Action (NFA) following criminal investigations that found no elements of negligence or sabotage. The blaze and explosion destroyed 81 houses with structural damage exceeding 40 per cent, partially destroyed another 81 and affected 57 without burning, while 218 houses were unaffected, including those in Kampung Tengah, Puchong. — BERNAMA
