KUALA LUMPUR: The recent seizure of RM600mil worth of drugs in the Klang Valley should serve as a wake-up call for the nation, says Alliance for a Safe Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

Responding to the Inspector-General of Police’s announcement that several drug processing laboratories were recently busted, with enough narcotics confiscated to supply an estimated 12 million users, Lee said the case highlights how Malaysia is increasingly being targeted by both international and local syndicates as a lucrative market and a strategic hub for drug distribution.
