Deputy Minister's brother arrested for drug

Ties between drug syndicates and deputy minister's brother?

KOTA KINABALU: Police are trying establish if the brother of a federal deputy minister might be involved in a drug trafficking syndicate following his arrest with his wife at the airport here last Sunday.
"Our investigations are still on, we cannot immediately determine any other links in the case," outgoing Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Hassan told reporters at a ceremony to hand over duties to his deputy Sr Ast Comm1 Noor Rashid Ibrahim.
He said this when asked if police had so far established any links between the suspect and drug trafficking syndicates in Sabah and Peninsular Malaysia.
Mokhtar, who confirmed that the 36-year-old suspect was a brother of a deputy minister, declined to disclose the quantity of the drugs seized, though reports stated that the drugs involved a sizeable amount of ganja and a few packets of syabu.
Rashid, meanwhile, said that a further remand for the suspect and his wife was obtained to facilitate investigations under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drug Act which carries the mandatory death sentence.

tunku : who's the deputy minster and why police declined to disclosed the quantity of the drugs? if it's true , then i guess it will kill his brother's political carrier.
