Fake names, dead phone numbers: How Customs unravelled a RM1m cannabis export plot at KLIA

KLIA Customs officials recently unraveled a RM1 million cannabis export plot that involved fake names, false addresses, and unreachable phone numbers. The operation took place in July, where authorities seized four packages of cannabis buds at a mail and courier center branch. The false addresses were located in the Klang Valley, Malaysia, and the phone numbers provided were non-functional.
The Customs Department is still investigating the origin of the drug, as Malaysia itself does not produce cannabis. On a separate incident, two luggage sets containing 47.8 kg of cannabis, valued at RM3.824 million, were left unclaimed at KLIA Terminal 1 for approximately 30 days. Subsequently, they were inspected. While the luggage was initially reported to have been part of a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi, the Customs Department is reviewing CCTV footage to identify the individual responsible for abandoning the luggage.
All aspects of the investigation, including the potential nationality and identity of the suspect, are being thoroughly examined.
