3 Iranians arrested in M'sia

<!-- by line --> <!-- end by line --> KUALA LUMPUR- THREE Iranians have been arrested attempting to smuggle drugs worth nearly US$4 million (S$5.69 million) into Malaysia, where trafficking carries a mandatory death sentence, a customs official said Sunday. Customs deputy director Mohamad Subri Awang said the two women and one man were arrested on Friday with 13.6 million ringgit worth of methamphetamines. Customs official found 54.54 kilograms (116 pounds) of the drugs in two bags, he said. Mr Mohamad Subri said the Iranians had arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport from Dubai.

'Since the collapse of the Dubai economy, we are seeing an increase in drug smugglers coming to Malaysia. The market here is lucrative and the demand is high,' he told AFP.
Mr Mohamad Subri said since January, a total of 10 Iranians had been detained for alleged drug trafficking compared to seven for the whole of last year. 'I like to warn drug traffickers that the punishment in Malaysia for drug trafficking is death and it includes for women also,' he said. Mr Mohamad Subri said enforcement has been beefed-up at airports in the country especially to monitor in-bound passengers from India, Dubai and Amsterdam. -- AFP
