The Inspector-General of Police said that the two men only had their pistols as it was a fact-gathering mission and that a patrol team would have been armed with rifles.

“Despite dark conditions, they managed to injure their attackers. Corporal Baharuddin, who had been shot, crawled over to Corporal Norihan Tari and told him to get help. “He is in stable condition despite being shot three times – twice in his stomach. I managed to speak with him before he was taken for an operation, ” he said.“The police also conducted mass arrests of known smuggling group members, and we have identified three Malaysians who were involved.

Six suspects linked to the shooting have been apprehended so far, the IGP confirmed, four of whom were arrested by Thai authorities in the kingdom.

We are dealing with inter border cases ? Why are they armed ? Only with pistols? They should be armed with automatic frontline weapons!!!

“The smugglers were transporting ketum leaves and cough medicine prepared by their Malaysian counterparts at the time of the shooting, ” - 🤬

The real questions are: How come the smugglers are well armed? Does it look like the smugglers' first attempt in carrying 500kg of ketum? What is our SB doing?
