On September 28, a military officer was arrested at a public university in Malaysia, reportedly in possession of a firearm, ammunition, and a substance suspected to be illegal, according to the Malaysian Army (TDM). The Strategic Communications Branch of the Army Headquarters confirmed that all firearms and ammunition in its storage facilities were accounted for following the incident.
The officer was detained by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) to aid in the ongoing investigation. An initial urine screening of the officer tested positive for Mitragynine, but this preliminary result is pending further laboratory confirmation. The TDM emphasized the seriousness of any misconduct involving military personnel, particularly regarding discipline, security, and adherence to regulations.
They reaffirmed their commitment to cooperating fully with authorities and taking appropriate action based on the investigation's findings, urging the public to refrain from speculation or misinformation. Updates will be provided through official TDM channels.
