Cops smash drug syndicate with arrest of four men in Melaka

The Sun03-05-2025

MELAKA: Police have busted a drug trafficking syndicate after they raided a house near Taman Krubong Perdana and seized methamphetamine worth about RM320,000.
Melaka Tengah district police chief ACP Christopher Patit said four men aged between 19 and 50 were arrested in the raid at 11.30 pm on April 30.
'Further inspection of the suspects led to the seizure of 10,000 grammes of methamphetamine.
'This syndicate is believed to have been actively operating since early this year. The seized drugs were believed to be intended for markets in a neighbouring country and could have been used by as many as 33,333 addicts,' he said in a statement today.
Christopher added that police also confiscated a car and three motorcycles belonging to the suspects, estimated to be worth RM59,000.
He said initial urine tests on all four suspects came back negative for drug use.
'Background checks revealed that one of the suspects, aged 50, had two prior cases — one under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and another under Section 6(1) of the Dangerous Drugs (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985.
'All the suspects have been remanded for seven days from May 2 to 8, and the case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952,' he added.

PKR's leave to appeal bid in Zuraida's bond payment case set for hearing on June 24

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court will hear on June 24 an application by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) to seek leave to appeal against a Court of Appeal's decision which reduced the bond payment to be made by the party's former vice-president, Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin, in a breach of party bond case. PKR's lawyer, Navpreet Singh, when contacted, told Bernama that the hearing will proceed via online proceedings. "A final case management was held before the Federal Court deputy registrar Husna Dzulkifly today, he said, adding that all parties have updated the court pertaining to compliance with pre-hearing directives relating to their submissions. The case revolves around a civil suit filed by former PKR secretary-general Datuk Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, on behalf of the party, claiming that Zuraida, who was then the Ampang member of parliament, had breached the bond she had signed. The terms of the bond, among others, required Zuraida to pay PKR RM10 million within seven days of winning an election on the PKR ticket, should she resign from the party, join another political party, or become an independent representative. In June 2023, the High Court ruled in favour of the party and ordered Zuraida to pay the RM10 million, with the court finding the bond to be valid and enforceable. However, in December last year, the Court of Appeal agreed with the High Court that there was a breach of bond but reduced the bond amount to RM100,000, citing that the RM10 million is not a reasonable amount of compensation. This prompted PKR to file a leave to appeal. In her defence, Zuraida contended that she was forced to sign the bond with the party to be able to stand for election as a candidate in the 14th General Election (GE14) in 2018. The Federal Court will now decide whether PKR can proceed with its appeal against the Court of Appeal's decision. In civil cases, litigants must obtain leave before they can proceed with their appeals in the Federal Court.
