MMEA foils attempt to smuggle 2.3 tonnes of ketum leaves, detains two mules in Perlis

KUALA PERLIS, Jan 17 — The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency Kuala Perlis Maritime Zone has foiled an attempt to smuggle 2.3 tonnes of ketum leaves and arrested two men suspected of being “transporters” or ketum leaf mules.

Kedah and Perlis Maritime director First Admiral Mohd Zawawi Abdullah said a special operations team detained a fibre boat without a registration number on Saturday at a position 1.5 nautical miles west of Sungai Padang beach at about 7.55 am. He said the MMEA found 230 black plastic packages believed to contain ketum leaves with an estimated worth of RM414,000 in the storage compartment of the boat.

“There were two small white plastic packets suspected to contain syabu weighing 1.72 grammes estimated to be worth RM688 and three small white plastic packets suspected to contain heroin weighing 1.47 gm estimated to be worth RM117.60 on the boat’s rudder,” he said.
