1.16 tan ketamin dirampas daripada kapal tangki di Selat Melaka

On October 14, Indonesian authorities intercepted the MT Global 168 tanker in the waters off Tanjung Balai, North Sumatra, after nearly a week of monitoring. The vessel was allegedly carrying 1.16 tons of ketamine, a powerful hallucinogenic drug. Indonesian police spokesperson Suyudi Ario Seto revealed that the operation involved collaboration between the police, the National Narcotics Agency, customs, and marine police.

The interception began on October 14 when the team began tracking the ship as it sailed near Malaysia before heading north towards Aceh and Thailand. Police seized seven Indonesian nationals and one foreign national, along with 58 bags of ketamine, communication equipment, and the tanker itself.
