Theft by addicts main factor in index crime spike

ALOR STAR: Theft by drug addicts has become the leading cause of rising index crime rates in Kedah, said police chief Commissioner Adzli Abu Shah. From Jan 1 to yesterday, Kedah recorded 2,852 index crime cases, with 47 per cent involving theft linked to drug addicts, he said. "Kedah police will maintain the focus outlined by former police chief Datuk Fisol Salleh, which is to eradicate drug-related crime. "We believe that if drug issues can be tackled and eliminated as much as possible, the overall index crime rate in Kedah can be brought down," he said. Adzli was responding to Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail's recent comments in conjunction with the 2025 National Anti-Drug Day celebration held in Jitra last Friday, urging the Kedah government to step up efforts to remove the state from the top four nationwide for drug addiction rates. On a separate note, he said Kedah police are stepping up border security measures despite the ongoing Thailand-Cambodia conflict occurring far from the state's northern border. "Precautionary steps are being taken by strengthening security at Malaysia's border checkpoints," he said, adding that despite growing support from agencies such as the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency, constant vigilance remains essential. "We must not let our guard down. We are committed to ensuring the country's borders remain secure," he said. Earlier, Adzli attended the rank insignia presentation ceremony for the Kedah police chief and deputy police chief, along with the handover ceremony for the deputy chief post, witnessed by Special Branch director CP Datuk Ibrahim Darus at the police contingent headquarters. Adzli, who was the acting police chief, was officially appointed to the role and promoted to the rank of Commissioner of Police (CP). Meanwhile, Perlis deputy police chief SAC Baderulhisham Baharudin was appointed as the new Kedah deputy police chief and promoted to deputy commissioner of police (DCP). – Bernama

MCMC probes company over online sale of uncertified communication devices

PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has launched an investigation into a company suspected of selling uncertified communication devices online. In a statement today, MCMC said the probe follows a joint operation with the police under the integrated enforcement initiative Op Taring Bravo 3, which involved multiple enforcement agencies. The operation uncovered 3,837 units of various communication devices, such as wireless gaming consoles, remote controls, smart devices and tablets, estimated to be worth RM500,000, which were seized by the police and handed over to MCMC for technical analysis and further review. "These devices are believed to have been marketed without valid technical certification from MCMC," the commission said. The case is being investigated under Regulation 16 of the Communications and Multimedia (Technical Standards) Regulations 2000, which carries a maximum fine of RM300,000, imprisonment of up to three years, or both, upon conviction. MCMC stressed its commitment to enforcing regulations to safeguard consumers and uphold market integrity. It urged the public to report any information regarding the sale or distribution of such devices through MCMC's official complaint channels or directly to the police. – Bernama

Kuching drug bust nets RM3.07m syabu in mobile store operation

KUCHING: A drug trafficking syndicate using cars as 'mobile stores' to discreetly deliver syabu was dismantled by police in a special operation in Kota Sentosa. The raid, conducted on July 19, led to the arrest of two men and the seizure of methamphetamine worth RM3.072 million. Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) director Datuk Hussein Omar Khan revealed that the syndicate left vehicles containing drugs unlocked at designated locations, allowing buyers to collect supplies without direct interaction. 'This tactic was used to evade detection,' he said. During the raid, police found 80 packages marked 'Guan Yin Wang' containing crystal lumps suspected to be syabu. The total seizure weighed 83 kilogrammes, with an estimated street value of RM3.07 million, potentially affecting 415,000 users. Cash amounting to RM1,100 was also confiscated under the Dangerous Drugs (Forfeiture of Property) Act 1988. Initial investigations indicate the drugs were sourced from Peninsular Malaysia via air routes before being distributed in Sarawak and Kalimantan, Indonesia. One suspect tested positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine, while the other had prior criminal records related to gambling and false information. Both are remanded for seven days pending further investigations. The case is being probed under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which carries the death penalty or life imprisonment and a minimum of 12 cane strokes upon conviction. - Bernama
