Drug hub shut down in Sungai Buloh as police net 50 in sweeping raid
KUALA LUMPUR, June 2 — A targeted police operation in Sungai Buloh has dismantled a local drug distribution point and led to 50 arrests, including a suspected supplier. The Selangor Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (JSJN) conducted 'Ops Sarang' on May 31 after identifying the area as a drug hotspot. According to police, addicts would loiter at the site and wait for drug dealers to arrive with supplies. During the operation, JSJN officers arrested one local man believed to be a supplier who sold drugs directly to users at the scene. Among the 50 arrested were 47 Malaysian men, one Malaysian woman and two foreign men, all aged between 20 and 60. Police seized over 273 grams of heroin, 184 grams of syabu and 20 grams of Erimin 5, with a combined street value estimated at RM15,771. Investigations are ongoing under Section 39B and Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, depending on the role of each suspect.

Fight slander with stronger social media presence, Ramanan tells PKR
PKR's R Ramanan warned that if the party did not step up its efforts, whatever allegations the opposition threw at the government would be accepted as the truth by the public. JOHOR BAHRU : PKR vice-president R Ramanan has called on the party to strengthen its social media presence to effectively counter slander ahead of the next general election. Ramanan said one of the key issues the party needs to recognise is its weakness on social media. 'This is something we must take seriously. If we don't address it, we'll face serious problems in the next general election. 'Our biggest enemy is slander. We must always question what we see and hear,' he told the PKR congress here today. Ramanan, who is Sungai Buloh MP, said PKR was very active on social media when the party was part of the opposition. 'But once we became part of the government, we became complacent. We took it easy. Slander spreads easily,' he warned. He said if the party does not step up its efforts, whatever allegations the opposition throws at the government would be accepted as the truth by the public. 'For example, the government has given a lot of assistance to the Indian community. 'But the message isn't reaching the grassroots. The information just isn't getting through.' Just last week, Ramanan had to issue a clarification that the person he was seen giving money to in a viral video was actually an employee of his. The video clip, which was circulated widely, showed Ramanan handing over cash to an individual in front of a Pakatan Harapan office, implying it was meant to buy votes in the party election. He said the incident actually took place after the Selangor state election in 2023 and criticised the recent circulation of the video as a dirty political tactic by certain parties. The deputy entrepreneur and cooperative development minister also did not dismiss the possibility of more dirty tactics being employed by the opposition ahead of PKR's central leadership election held yesterday.
