  "summary": "The Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) at Penang International Airport has successfully intercepted an attempt to smuggle 45 wildlife parts, valued at approximately RM5,000, on Thursday. The contraband, suspected to be animal horns, was discovered during a routine inspection of the luggage of an Indonesian man who had arrived from Guangzhou, China, on a China Southern Airlines flight. The 57-year-old suspect was apprehended for attempting to bring the items without the necessary permits or valid documentation, as per Section 68(1)(b) of Act 716. Following the seizure, all 45 items were handed over to the wildlife and national parks department, Perhilitan, for further investigation.",
