MIRI, April 29 — The Royal Malaysian Customs Department has halted two attempts to traffic dangerous drugs totalling 4.08kg worth RM130,560 through a courier service company here.

'A thorough inspection subsequently led to the discovery of two tea packages containing 2.04kg of methamphetamine — a dangerous drug, with an estimated value of RM65,280. The package was addressed to an abandoned, uninhabited house,' Norizan said in a statement today. 'The seized items were confiscated under Section 30(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.'

Methamphetamine is classified as a dangerous drug under Part III, First Schedule, of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. Separately, he said the Narcotics Unit also seized another package during the same operation at the same premises, after the drugs sniffer dog detected dangerous drugs. He said the package contained two packets labelled as 'tea', which contained 2.04kg of methamphetamine valued at RM65,280. The package, addressed to an abandoned, uninhabited house, also contained food items. The seized items were confiscated under Section 30(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. Both cases are being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 for trafficking. The Section provides for the death penalty or life imprisonment, and if the court imposes a life sentence, the offender shall also get a minimum 15 stokes of the cane. — The Borneo Post
