PETALING JAYA, June 19 — The Royal Malaysian Customs Department has seized nine containers filled with 165,000 litres of liquor estimated at RM5.6 million including taxes, suspected to involve a smuggling syndicate at Northport, Port Klang on June 12. “This seizure also brings to light the latest modus operandi by the syndicate, believed to be involving foreign nationals who obtain the help of shipping agents,” he said at a media conference held at the Central Zone Customs Department in Kelana Jaya, here, today.
“They hacked the password of customs officers to the port’s system to change the status of the containers that were put on hold to ‘release’ them,” he said.
