KUALA LUMPUR: The Customs Department seized methamphetamine worth a total of RM2 million in two separate busts this month at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2).
KLIA Customs director Datuk Chik Omar Chik Lim told a press conference today that the drugs were seized from both airports on July 5 and July 13.
For the first case, the parcel arrived at KLIA on July 5 from Lagos (Nigeria)… there was one exhaust pipe that contained white powder in which we identified as methamphetamine, weighing at 0.470kg and costing RM89,300,” Chik Omar said.
He said Customs could not reach the receiver through the number provided, so investigation is still ongoing.
In the July 13 haul, he said enforcers seized over RM1 million worth of the same drug at low-cost carrier terminal KLIA2 and arrested two men from India who had claimed they were entering the country for business.
