Selangor MMEA director Abdul Muhaimin Salleh said the arrest was made by the KM Bagan Datuk intelligence unit and search team through a special operation after inspecting a local fisherman’s boat at the jetty.

“During the inspection, three unidentified men jumped into the water and escaped while the 44-year-old Indonesian man, who was high on drugs, was arrested and failed to produce any valid identification documents.

“Upon inspecting the boat, the team found two gunny sacks stored in the boat’s fish storage compartment. The two sacks contained 38 packages of Chinese tea, suspected to be syabu, believed to be smuggled out,” he said in a statement.

He said the Indonesian man, the boat, and the drugs were taken to the Selangor MMEA headquarters, and the case is being investigated under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and Immigration Act 1959/63.
