Wan Jamal said based on information gathered from the ground, these cigarettes were being sold at RM8 for a pack of 20 sticks compared with the market price of RM14 for the same pack.“The modus operandi used by the smuggling syndicate is to bring these consignments through Sungai Golok and hide the stock in a secured place to ensure their movement is safe, before distributing it in the market,” he said adding that the case would be investigated under Section 135 of the Customs Act 1967.
