Wanita Malaysia ditahan bawa 8kg ganja di lapangan terbang Hong Kong
Wanita berusia 33 tahun itu yang tiba dari Bangkok, Thailand ditahan selepas dadah itu ditemui dalam bagasinya.
A 33-year-old Malaysian woman was detained at Hong Kong's International Airport after customs officers discovered approximately 8kg of cannabis worth an estimated HK$1.6 million (RM830,000) in her luggage. The woman arrived from Bangkok, Thailand, on September 12 before being detained during a customs inspection. "During customs inspection, officers found roughly 8kg of cannabis in her checked baggage," a spokesperson explained in a statement.
Under Hong Kong's Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, drug trafficking can result in a maximum fine of HK$5 million (RM2.6 million) and a lifetime prison sentence. This arrest follows a series of similar cases involving Malaysian nationals detained at the same airport for possessing cannabis, including three incidents in July. On July 30, a 27-year-old Malaysian man was detained after customs officers found around 3kg of cannabis worth HK$600,000 (RM311,000) in his luggage upon arriving from Bangkok.
On July 16, a 19-year-old Malaysian man who had traveled from Bangkok via Manila in the Philippines was arrested after officials discovered roughly 11kg of cannabis worth HK$2 million (RM1.04 million) in his possession. A fourth Malaysian man, also 19 years old, was detained on July 9 after arriving from Kuala Lumpur via Singapore with about 3kg of cannabis worth HK$500,000 (RM260,000) concealed in his luggage.
