Suspek bawa barangan disyaki hidupan liar tanpa kebenaran berdasarkan pemeriksaan bagasi di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Pulau Pinang.
A Malaysian Indonesian passenger was thwarted in his attempt to smuggle 45 live animal horns through Malaysia's international airport in Penang, authorities announced. Zuhair Jamaludin, the Commanding Officer of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency at Bayan Lepas International Airport, revealed that the suspect, aged 57, had arrived in Malaysia on a China Southern Airlines flight from Guangzhou, China before being apprehended by authorities.
The suspect had boarded a flight from Guangzhou carrying live animal parts without proper documentation, an act punishable under Section 68(1)(b) of the Customs Act 716. According to Zuhair, the value of the 45 live animal horns was estimated at RM5,000, which were confiscated and handed over to the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) for further action.
The agency plans to continue its vigorous enforcement efforts and strengthen cooperation among all agencies to combat cross-border crime, he added.
