KOTA KINABALU: After months of living comfortably using ill-gotten gains from selling drugs, a businessman was finally nabbed during an operation here on Thursday (July 1).

The 32-year-old middleman was nabbed when he was handing over some 3kg of what was believed to be methamphetamine to a suspected drug dealer in his 30s in Inanam near here.

He said when they opened the packets, they found the drugs worth about RM110,000 inside, making it the biggest drug bust here so far this year. He said a further probe found that the drugs, which can supply up to 15,000 customers, were meant for sale in the state capital.Earlier, he said they had been monitoring the businessman, who owned a shop at the Suria Inanam commercial centre, for about a month before making their move.
