KUALA LUMPUR: The government, through the relevant law enforcement agencies, should explore all avenues to effectively tackle the problem where the country is possibly being used as a transit point for drug syndicates, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye .
"I also feel that our maritime patrols should be improved to better detect drugs being smuggled by sea," he added. "This is something that must be given serious attention as international cooperation is vital to curb drug smuggling activities," he said."While Malaysia is not a drug exporting or producing country, being used as a transit to other countries such as Australia is a serious problem.It was previously reported that while Malaysia may not be a drug exporting or producing country, there was a possibility it is being used as a transit hub for drug smuggling activities.
