Missing Drugs Not Worth RM1 Mln, Says Johor Police Chief

JOHOR BAHARU, Aug 5 (Bernama)-- The value of seized drugs reported missing from a storage room at the Johor police headquarters here last week is not RM1 million, Johor police chief Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Sharif clarified Tuesday.
In a statement issued here, he, however, did not disclose how much the syabu was worth but said Johor police had set up a task force to investigate the theft of the drug.
He assured the public that there would be no cover up in the matter and the culprits involved would be brought to justice.
The police were also eager to know how several journalists obtained information that robbers used acid to break the padlock of the storage room.
Three journalists from the New Straits Times Press Berhad Tuesday received instructions from the police to provide information related to news reports about the missing drug.
The news reports said the stolen syabu was part of RM48 million drugs seized from drug processing laboratories in the city earlier this year.

tunku : it doesn't matter if the drug worth 20 cents, the important thing is that it was robbed by robbers, in the police station. if things like this can happen in the police station, what about other places? are we safe in our country ? this is the type of incidents which brings very bad reputation for the police force.

it doesnt matter if the drug worth less than RM2 because it's still drug.the police shouldnt worry about how the reporters knew about the accident but rather focus on why such incident did happened?.

i hope the police force can take a lesson from this incident.the public puts much trust on the police force.

Tidak dinafikan kejadian kehilangan dadah ini memang amat menghairankan dan memalukan. Bagaimana balai polis boleh dicerobohi oleh perompak? Siapakah perompak itu? Orang dalam juga ke? Kalau balai polis dah tak selamat, jadi selamatkah kita?
