KEPALA BATAS: Penang police have disposed of 120.9kg of seized drugs worth about RM2mil.
Acting state police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin said the drugs were from seizures involving 5,265 investigation papers from 2010 to last year.
The respective probes covering five districts had all been completed by the state Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID), he added.
"Among the drugs disposed of are heroin and monoacetylmorphine, cannabis, ketamine, methamphetamine and various psychotropic pills," he told a press conference at the North Seberang Perai police headquarters Centralised Evidence Storage on Monday (Aug 4).
DCP Alwi said the drugs were inspected by the NCID before being handed over to the appointed company for disposal.
The consignment was then escorted by a police team to the disposal site in Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan to ensure security and transparency in the process, he added.
DCP Alwi said police remained committed to fighting drug abuse in Malaysia, as drugs are the nation’s number one enemy.
