Lima '25: 27 reports of home damage so far, say police
LANGKAWI: Police have received 27 reports as of yesterday regarding alleged damage to homes, believed to have been caused by shockwaves from aerial displays at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition 2025 (Lima '25). Kedah police chief Datuk Fisol Salleh gave his assurances that all reports will be thoroughly investigated before being forwarded to the relevant authorities for further action. "We have the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) to conduct an inspection, and after the inspection and verification are completed, the investigation results will be submitted to the organisers — the Defence Ministry and Global Exhibitions and Conferences Sdn Bhd (GEC) — to determine the appropriate category," he said. He said this at a press conference on security and traffic operations for Lima '25 at the Langkawi police training centre. At the same time, Fisol expressed hope that all reports were genuine and urged the public not to exploit the situation. Meanwhile, he said 9,000 parking spaces have been allocated around the Mahsuri International Exhibition Centre (MIEC) and 300 spaces at Resorts World Langkawi for visitors attending Lima '25 starting tomorrow. "The public planning to attend the air and maritime shows tomorrow are advised to arrive early to secure parking. I also understand that 35,000 online tickets have been sold, which is a substantial number," he said. Fisol also advised the public to use the official Lima '25 e-hailing service, MyCar, as it offers more convenience than driving themselves. Vehicles with MyCar stickers will not be affected by road closures. Previously, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin had said the ministry had taken note of the claims of property damage linked to Lima '25 and would not ignore the concerns raised by affected residents.

Kedah police seize over RM1.6mil in cannabis, two arrested
ALOR SETAR: Police have seized 45.5kg of cannabis worth over RM1.6mil and arrested two men suspected of smuggling them into the country at the Bukit Kayu Hitam Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security (ICQS) Complex on Wednesday (May 14). Kedah police chief Datuk Fisol Salleh said the suspects, a 29-year-old local man and a Thai national in his 50s, were arrested at 5pm, before police discovered 80 compressed packets believed to contain cannabis in a pickup truck bearing Thai licence plates that the suspects were travelling in. "Further checks uncovered two suitcases placed in the cargo area, each containing 40 transparent compressed plastic packets filled with dried leaves suspected to be cannabis buds. "The total seizure is estimated to be worth RM1.6mil on the black market. In Thailand, the price is around 100,000 Baht per kg, while in Malaysia it is valued at RM36,000 per kg. 'We believe their modus operandi involves the use of luggage bags. If we hadn't inspected the bags, they could have passed through as they used a legitimate entry route," he said in a press conference here on Thursday. He added that this is the first cannabis seizure in Kedah this year, and investigations show that the drugs were likely intended for distribution in the Klang Valley and Johor. Investigations also revealed that the local suspect acted as a drug transporter and admitted to smuggling drugs from Thailand into Malaysia multiple times via the Bukit Kayu Hitam and Sungai Golok, Kelantan borders, for payments ranging from RM1,000 to RM2,000 per trip. "The suspect also has three prior drug-related offences, and a urine test confirmed he was positive for methamphetamine. Meanwhile, the Thai man, who works as a taxi driver in Danok, Thailand, tested negative and has no criminal record," he said. Fisol said both suspects are currently remanded for seven days until May 21 to assist investigations under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. He added that following the arrests, police have tracked down other individuals believed to be the masterminds of the smuggling syndicate, and the Johor Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (NCID) successfully apprehended two more suspects on Thursday. He added that a man in his 30s with seven prior narcotics offences and other criminal convictions, and a 38-year-old woman with no prior record, were arrested on Thursday in Johor to be brought to Kedah for further investigation. "We are not just focusing on distribution and drug abuse, but also on the supply chain. This is a significant success for the Kedah police contingent," he added. - Bernama
