Laos drug jet case on agenda at Malaysia-Philippines meeting in Sabah

Malaysian police will discuss the seizure of 521kg of crystal methamphetamine from a private jet in Laos at a meeting with their Philippine counterparts in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, next week. The meeting, initially scheduled to discuss regional drug trafficking issues, will now focus on exchanging information about the syndicate believed to be behind the international drug trafficking operation.

Malaysian authorities have already shared intelligence with Philippine authorities to help identify those involved in the trafficking operation. The meeting comes as investigators continue efforts to establish the full extent of the trafficking network, which is believed to have links spanning Malaysia, Laos, and the Philippines.
