An international drug trafficking syndicate has reportedly recruited Indian tourists to smuggle ketamine into Malaysia, paying each courier around RM1,000. The operation, named Op Plekoptera, was uncovered by the Bukit Aman Narcotics Crime Investigation Department and is believed to have been active since March this year.
