KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 — The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) is waiting for a full report from Japanese authorities on 10 Malaysians suspected of smuggling over 100kg of gold bars worth RM19.1 million at the Kansai International Airport, Osaka in April.

Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said PDRM would carry out an investigation after receiving a report from Japanese authorities.

"PDRM is still waiting for a complete report from the Japanese authorities and will investigate the case,” he told Bernama today.

Local newspapers quoted Japanese Today news portal as saying the incident was deemed as an attempt to smuggle after none of the passengers on the flight declared they were carrying gold bars. — Bernama
