IPOH: It took the Perak Customs Department more than 12 hours to transport out contraband cigarettes worth about RM1mil from an oil palm estate in Batu Kurau due to bad road and weather conditions during an operation.
State Customs director Datuk Dr Mohamad Saprin said the path leading to the estate in Kampung Tersusun Batu 19 1/2 was on a steep hill slope and it was also raining heavily when his officers raided the place at 6.30pm on Feb 15.
