Police probe Langkawi drug network


KUALA LUMPUR: Police said they are investigating allegations that a police officer ran a drug-trafficking network in Langkawi.

Inspector-General of Police Mohd Khalid Ismail said the investigation remained at an early stage.

“It is still under investigation because we need to ascertain who is involved, the individuals connected, and the groups linked to the case.

“So, we are unable to comment for now. If there are developments, I will call for a press conference,” he told reporters after attending the PDRM Special Dialogue 2026 programme here on Tuesday (May 12).

Khalid said police would not comment further until the investigation ended.

“Everyone is aware that this year alone, we have made many major seizures to ensure the country’s security remains safeguarded.

“When it involves security laws and related matters, we will not hesitate to lodge police reports and take legal action,” he added.

A local media outlet reported a drug-trafficking network operating around the Langkawi islands. It reported that a police officer and several associates ran the network.
