Thai cops nab Mr T – the M’sian ‘Iceman’


'Mr T'

BANGKOK: Thai police scored a major success in their battle against an international drug syndicate with the arrest of a Malaysian man, whom they believed played a key role in smuggling hundreds of kilogrammes of “ice” or methamphetamine drugs into Malaysia.

The authorities said the Malaysian man, dubbed “Mr T” from Johor, was also responsible for a failed attempt by his two accomplices to smuggle 282kg of “ice” worth millions of ringgit into Malaysia via the Sadao border in March last year.
