Govt concerned about drug-trafficking trend



KUALA LUMPUR: The increasing number of cases involving young Malaysian women caught for trafficking drugs has the Foreign Ministry worried.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Syed Albar said there were now more than 50 cases that his ministry had come across from all around the world.

"The syndicates, all headed by foreigners, are operating out of here. We must not allow our people to be used in this manner," he said.

Syed Hamid said by and large, many of the women involved were duped and did not know what they were getting themselves into and were blinded by the promises of making lots of money.

"Some who do know what they are doing may have also assumed that other countries do not have the death sentence for trafficking or smuggling drugs," he said, adding that the police were seriously looking into such cases.

Syed Hamid said some of the countries Malaysians had been caught in included Australia, New Zealand, Venezuela and China
