STING to combat local and international drug syndicates

KUALA LUMPUR: Bukit Aman’s newly formed Special Tactics and Intelligence Narcotics Group (STING) is being tasked with going after drug kingpins as well as local and international drug smuggling syndicates.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the elite force, made up of about 200 highly-trained personnel would be targeting the “sharks” of the drug trade and not small time players.
