  "summary": "The Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) at Penang International Airport thwarted a smuggling attempt involving 45 wildlife parts, valued at approximately RM5,000, on Thursday. The contraband, believed to be animal horns, was discovered during a routine inspection of luggage belonging to an Indonesian man who had just arrived from Guangzhou, China, on a China Southern flight. The 57-year-old suspect was apprehended for attempting to bring the items without proper permits or documentation, as per Section 68(1)(b) of Act 716. All 45 items were subsequently seized and turned over to the wildlife and national parks department, Perhilitan, for further investigation.",
