2Firsts, August 29, 2025 — Malaysian police carried out seven raids across the Klang Valley, dismantling a criminal syndicate distributing the new-type drug MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) and seizing e-cigarette vape oil valued at about RM1.48 million (approximately USD 352,000).
Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Datuk Fadil Marsus told a press conference that nine suspects, aged between 24 and 34 — including a Thai woman — were arrested on August 22.
Investigations indicate the group had been active since late last year, using security-guarded luxury condominiums as drug processing and storage sites, and distributing the drugs via courier services. Some of the supply even reached areas beyond the Klang Valley.
Police seized 3.5 kilograms of MDMA, 7.6 liters of MDMA-laced vape cartridges and bottled e-liquids, as well as approximately 39 liters of MDMA vape oil. The investigation also showed that each 15-milliliter vape cartridge was sold for around RM100–200 (USD 23.8–47.5).
In addition, police confiscated multiple cars, luxury watches, designer handbags, and RM1.5 million in cash (about USD 356,000).
Fadil noted that all nine suspects tested negative in urine tests. The case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act. Five individuals have been remanded for seven days, while applications to extend detention for the remaining four were rejected.
