Home Ministry seizes sex toys worth RM1.1 mil in Bukit Mertajam

BUTTERWORTH – The Home Ministry’s Enforcement and Controls Division seized 22,926 sex toys worth RM1.1 million following a raid on a warehouse in Bukit Mertajam near here on February 15.

Division secretary Nik Yusaimi Yussof said that during the raid, a woman aged 29 had confessed that the toys found in the warehouse were for her business, which she started last year. 

She was arrested to facilitate investigations, he added.

Various banned items, including sex dolls, dildos, and vibrators, believed to have been brought in from China, were seized, Nik Yusaimi said, adding that they were sold on e-commerce platforms at prices between RM70 and RM450.

He said that the case would be investigated under Section 7(1) of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 and Section 292(a) of the Penal Code. – Bernama, March 14, 2023
