Comm Alwi said 36 plastic packages containing 19,040g of the drugs were found in the baggage.<\/p>\n

“He received the job offer from a website which promises lucrative pay,” he told a press conference at state police contingent headquarters here on Tuesday (Nov 10).<\/p>\n

“We believe he picked up the (contraband in Kajang) before taking an e-hailing ride to Ipoh,” he added.<\/p>\n
Comm Alwi said the man was remanded for seven days from Monday (Nov 9) for investigations under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which carries a death sentence, or life imprisonment with caning, upon conviction.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
