Selangor ketum raid nets 27 men, including three civil servants

Three civil servants were among 27 men detained in a raid on premises involved in ketum sales and processing in Sungai Buloh today.

The operation, part of Selangor-level Op Perdana, involved AADK and police collaboration to combat ketum abuse and distribution.

Premises had facilities for ketum processing with daily ketum sales valued up to RM1,500; CCTV and transaction systems were also in place.

SUNGAI BULOH, Oct 21 — Three civil servants were among 27 men detained in a raid on a premises believed to be involved in the sale and processing of ketum leaves and water here today.

National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) deputy director-general (Operations) Zainudin Abdullah said that all the individuals, aged between 19 and 61, were detained in an operation that began at 6am before being taken to the Petaling District AADK Office for documentation.

He said the premises operated daily from noon to midnight and received between 30 and 50 customers a day.

“The value of ketum sold in that location was estimated to be between RM1,000 and RM1,500 per day, with ketum water sold in a small plastic pack for RM10 and in a 1.5-litre bottle for RM20.

“Raw ketum leaves were sold at a price of between RM20 and RM40 per kilogramme (kg), while the raw material was obtained from Kedah at a price of RM12 per kg,” he said to reporters after the raid on the premises today.

Commenting further, Zainudin said the premises also offered cough syrup based on customer requests, which is believed to be used for mixing with ketum water.

He said the seized materials, including ketum leaves and ketum water, will be handed over for further investigation in collaboration with the Sungai Buloh district police headquarters (IPD).

Zainudin said that the operation was part of the Selangor-level Op Perdana, which was conducted simultaneously in six districts in the state from Monday until today to combat the activity.

He said the AADK investigation found that individual involvement in ketum abuse is increasing but following the amendment of the Drug Dependants (Treatment and Rehabilitation) Act 1983, which came into effect in August 2025, the agency is now able to take action against the abuse of the substance.

Meanwhile, an inspection of the premises located on a plot of land near the river found three large pots, each capable of boiling about 20 kg of ketum leaves at a time, while the unboiled ketum leaves were stored in an air-conditioned room to prevent them from wilting.

The premises is also equipped with closed-circuit television (CCTV), in addition to having a small window and a doorbell next to the front door, which are believed to be used for buying and selling transactions. Price tags, phone numbers, and QR codes are also displayed on the wall next to the window. — Bernama

今天，在对双溪毛糯（Sungai Buloh）一家从事卡痛（ketum）销售和加工的场所进行突击搜查时，有 27 名男子被拘留，其中包括三名公务员。

此次行动是雪兰莪州“Op Perdana”行动的一部分，由AADK和警方合作打击滥用和贩卖卡痛。

该场所设有卡痛加工设施，每日卡痛销售额高达 1500 马币；还配备了闭路电视监控系统和交易系统。

双溪毛糯，10月21日讯——今天，警方突袭了一处涉嫌销售和加工卡痛叶和水的场所，拘留了27名男子，其中包括三名公务员。

国家禁毒局（AADK）副局长（行动）扎伊努丁·阿卜杜拉表示，所有被捕人员年龄介于 19 岁至 61 岁之间，他们在早上 6 点开始的行动中被拘留，随后被带到八打灵县禁毒局办公室进行登记。

他说，该场所每天从中午营业至午夜，每天接待 30 至 50 名顾客。

“据估计，该地每天售出的卡痛价值在 1000 至 1500 令吉之间，卡痛水小包装售价 10 令吉，1.5 升瓶装售价 20 令吉。

“生卡痛叶的售价在每公斤20至40令吉之间，而原材料是从吉打州以每公斤12令吉的价格购入的，”他在今天突击搜查后对记者说。

Zainudin进一步评论说，该场所还根据顾客的要求提供止咳糖浆，据信这种糖浆是用来与卡痛水混合使用的。

他表示，缴获的物品，包括卡痛叶和卡痛水，将移交给双溪毛糯地区警察总部（IPD）进行进一步调查。

扎伊努丁表示，此次行动是雪兰莪州“首相行动”（Op Perdana）的一部分，该行动从周一开始在雪兰莪州的六个地区同时进行，旨在打击犯罪活动。

他说，AADK 的调查发现，个人滥用氯胺酮的案例正在增加，但随着 1983 年《药物依赖者（治疗和康复）法》的修订于 2025 年 8 月生效，该机构现在能够对滥用该物质的行为采取行动。

与此同时，对位于河边一块土地上的场所进行检查时发现，那里有三个大锅，每个锅一次可以煮约 20 公斤的卡痛叶，而未煮熟的卡痛叶则被存放在空调房内，以防止它们枯萎。

该场所除了配备闭路电视监控系统外，前门旁还设有一个小窗口和门铃，据信用于买卖交易。窗口旁的墙上还张贴着价格标签、电话号码和二维码。——马新社
