Selangor police bust syndicate selling drug-laced vape liquid
SHAH ALAM: Selangor police have dismantled a syndicate selling drug-laced vape liquid worth more than RM5 million after raids in Klang Utara and Sungai Buloh on Tuesday and Wednesday. Twelve individuals were arrested, including two local men and 10 foreigners — four of them women — aged between 21 and 38. Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said this marked the biggest success of the year for the state police in combating drug abuse involving electronic cigarettes. The first raid took place around 8pm on Tuesday at a vape shop in Klang Utara. "During the raid, police seized 663 cartridges containing vape liquid suspected to contain methamphetamine, with an estimated total volume of 1,260ml. "A 21-year-old local man, who was the shop assistant, was arrested. Background checks showed he had no criminal record and his initial urine test came back negative. "The seized vape liquid is estimated to be worth RM199,000 and believed to be intended for distribution around the Klang Valley," he said at a press conference at the Selangor police headquarters today. Following the first raid, Hussein said another operation was launched at 12.30am on Wednesday at a factory in Sungai Buloh, which was used to package the vape liquid. There, police detained 11 individuals — one local man and 10 foreigners including the four women aged between 21 and 38 — and seized 4,600 pods along with 158 plastic drums filled with vape liquid suspected to contain amphetamine (864,600ml) and ketamine (650,000ml). "Preliminary investigations revealed that the local man acted as the business manager while the foreigners were involved in packaging the drug-laced vape liquid. "Checks showed none of the suspects had any prior criminal record. The total value of vape liquid seized in the second raid is estimated at RM4.91 million, believed to be intended for distribution in the Klang Valley and neighbouring countries," he said. Hussein said the packaging factory had been operating for the past six months and is believed to be funded by a foreign man who is being sought by the police. "The individual is believed to have entered the country and taught the local suspect (the business manager) how to process the drug-laced vape liquid. "We are also investigating whether this case is linked to a Taiwanese syndicate recently busted by Bukit Aman's Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (NCID)," he said. Meanwhile, Hussein said checks showed that the vape shop involved in the first raid had been operating for the past four years. The premises owner is believed to be overseas and will be called in to assist in investigations. All 12 suspects had been remanded for between five and seven days. s

Wong hints at extra show after sell-out
Compiled by SHERIDAN MAHAVERA, C. ARUNO and R. ARAVINTHAN SINGER Michael Wong ( pic ) has hinted that he will be adding an extra concert date after all the tickets to his upcoming concert at Stadium Merdeka were sold out in just over an hour. China Press reported that more than 140,000 fans joined the online queue on Monday in hopes of getting tickets which were all priced at RM199 each. In just an hour and a half after sales opened at noon, all of the tickets were gone, leaving thousands of fans disappointed. Many took to social media to express their frustration. However, the Malaysian singer hinted on social media on Thursday that he may be able to add an extra concert date if there was enough support. 'I have received so many messages these few days from fans who said they did not manage to get the ticket for the concert on July 19. 'We are holding a meeting to discuss if it is possible to have a second show. This is to make up to those who felt disappointed that they did not manage to get a ticket,' he posted on Facebook. Wong, who started his music career in the 1990s, was once nominated in the Best Male Mandarin Singer category in the 1997 Golden Melody Awards. He is best known for his song Fairy Tale which was released in 2005. > A woman in China's Guangdong province was pranked by a colleague and locked inside a freezer at the restaurant where she worked, China Press reported. Upon reviewing CCTV footage, it was revealed that a male colleague had shut the freezer door from the outside. Footage showed that he was laughing when he succeeded in pulling off the plank. The woman screamed and banged at the freezer door but no one came to her aid. It was after she phoned her boss that she was told the freezer door had an emergency release allowing those trapped inside to escape. After she got out, the woman confronted the colleague with the CCTV footage but he claimed to have locked the door by accident. It was after she made a police report that he apologised. The woman said while she was not injured, her colleague's actions angered her. 'If I had not brought my phone with me, I shudder to think what would have happened to me,' she said. Many Internet users criticised the colleague for his behaviour. 'What if she did not manage to find the emergency release and ended up freezing to death inside? 'This could have easily turned into a murder case,' a netizen said. The above articles are compiled from the vernacular newspapers (Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese and Tamil dailies).

Singer Michael Wong Hints At Additional Shows After Selling Out Stadium Merdeka Concert
Earlier this week, Malaysian singer Michael Wong, better known as Guang Liang (光良), kicked off the sales for his long-awaited concert at Stadium Merdeka. Ticket sales were a hit, and the show was sold out in less than two hours, prompting fans to ask for more shows. If you haven't heard, Michael will perform at Stadium Merdeka on 19th July 2025 (Saturday) for his 'Never Apart. Lonely Planet 3.0' tour finale. As a thank-you to his loyal fans, the singer announced that all seats for the show are priced at a flat rate of RM199. Understandably, this move sparked interest towards the concert, with many aiming to get a ticket. Ticket sales began on 21st April 2025 (Monday) at noon and sold out within an hour and a half. Unfortunately, many fans lament on social media that they failed to get tickets, urging Michael and his team to consider an additional show. It seems that Michael heard all the concerns because days later, he updated fans that he's currently discussing the possibility of adding another date. In his Facebook post, the vocalist wrote, 'We're now in urgent discussions to explore the possibility of adding a second show, to respond to your incredible support and anticipation, and to make up for the disappointment of those who missed out.'. Many fans have reacted to the post, thanking Michael for listening to their concerns. Even those who already got tickets support the move, saying they want more people to enjoy the show. At the same time, Michael reminded fans about scalpers, urging them to only purchase tickets from the official ticketing partner. His post also included notices from ticket holders, saying the tickets obtained from unauthorised sellers would be rendered invalid. The notice ends with him asking fans for their cooperation, writing, 'Let us stand together to uphold the integrity of this heartfelt musical journey.' It's clear to see that this concert is important to Michael, so we hope everything goes well for him and his team. And if you're one of those who lucked out on getting tickets on the first round of ticketing, we hope you get them in the next one! Source: Facebook (1)(2)
