KOTA BARU: The Kelantan police have revealed that many entrepreneurs, including product founders and influencers in the state, who flaunt their wealth, are believed to be involved in drug trafficking and money laundering.
Kelantan Police Chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said this was based on several previously reported cases.
"In 2020, a case involved a cosmetic entrepreneur with the title Datuk Seri, who was arrested for drug smuggling.
"A seemingly successful business becomes a cover for illegal activities," he said in a TikTok post on Friday (March 21), reported by Sinar Harian.
He added that in 2021, a cosmetic entrepreneur with the title Datin was arrested for drug trafficking using the same modus operandi, that is, using a business to conceal their crimes.
"Most recently, in 2024, another case involved a businessman suspected of being involved in drug trafficking in Kelantan," he added.
