KUALA LUMPUR: A Nigerian woman was arrested upon arrival in Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur Low Cost Carrier Terminal in June after being caught swallowing around 400 grams of syabu drugs. It highlighted a month of crackdowns and arrests by immigration officials in the country. They said that airport officials arrested a total of 35 persons during June on drug-related charges upon arrival in Malaysia. “The suspect was taken to Serdang Hospital for an X-ray which revealed she had 28 capsules,” KLIA Customs director Badaruddin Mohamed Rafik told a press conference in announcing the month's airport security information. Intial investigations showed that the capsules contained 394.43g of syabu worth about RM98,607.50. Customs officers also foiled two other attempts to import syabu and ketamine at KLIA and LCCT. A 20-year-old Romanian man, who arrived from Manila, was nabbed on June 26 after officers found suspicious looking packages in his luggage as it passed through the scanner. “The bag revealed a hidden compartment containing about 3.29kg of syabu, worth at least RM824,000,” Badaruddin said. On June 27, a 42-year-old Indian man arriving from Calcutta was arrested after officers noticed something suspicious in his luggage at LCCT. Some 2.86kg of ketamine worth RM114,400 were hidden inside the bag. Drug offenses in Malaysia can carry the death penalty.
