The PDRM Green Day 2017, which is the first in its series, was launched simultaneously nationwide.

Last week, six customs officers based at the KL International Airport (KLIA) were detained for alleged involvement in helping a secret society to smuggle drugs into the country.

They were also alleged to have received money from the society for ‘allowing’ various types of drugs and other raw substances to be processed as drugs, to enter the country at least over the past one year. — Bernama
