110kg of meth, ecstasy worth RM8.3mil seized from condo unit

In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the police have recently seized a significant amount of illegal drugs worth an estimated RM8.3 million from a condominium unit in Kuchai Lama. The arrest of a 36-year-old Vietnamese man with a Canadian passport, who was part of a drug syndicate believed to have been operating since early this year, triggered a raid on a second location where additional drugs intended for the local market were discovered.

The suspect, who has no criminal record, was arrested on August 9 and remains at large along with several accomplices. He has been remanded until August 20. The police are conducting intelligence operations to trace the syndicate's suppliers and middlemen, with the primary supplier believed to be operating outside the Kuala Lumpur area.

A car was also impounded during the raid. The case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which carries severe penalties including the death penalty or imprisonment for up to 30 years, and at least 12 strokes of the cane upon conviction.
