KUALA LUMPUR: A Myanmar syndicate selling unregistered drugs, including aphrodisiacs, has been busted by health enforcers in a series of raids here that netted pills weighing up to 10 tonnes.

City Heath Department deputy director (pharmacy) Syed Fadzli Syed Syialuddin said the authorities spent a month gathering intelligence on the syndicate and identified five locations – three stores and two bungalows in Bangsar and Persiaran Syed Putra – which were used to store the pills.
