Seized – heroin in furniture


More than just furniture: Noor Rashid holding up the seized packets of heroin. Inset: A cupboard used to hide the heroin.

SHAH ALAM: A factory in Pakistan making cupboards for sale in Malaysia and Indonesia has been exporting more than furniture to these countries. The panels of the cupboard are not just made of fibreboards. They are packed with heroin instead.

Police here threw the door wide open on the drug syndicate when they raided a house that was used for storing the furniture. They seized four wooden cupboards and found 56kg of pure heroin worth RM8.4mil hidden inside the panels.
