Kelantan police link entrepreneurs, influencers to drug trafficking and money laundering

KELANTAN police have revealed that several entrepreneurs, including product founders and influencers in the state who display lavish lifestyles, are believed to be involved in drug trafficking and money laundering.

Kelantan Police Chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat (pic) made the statement, referencing several cases previously reported.

"In 2020, a case involved a cosmetic entrepreneur with the title Datuk Seri, who was arrested for drug smuggling," he said.

"A seemingly successful business becomes a cover for illegal activities," he added in a TikTok post on Friday, March 21, as reported by Sinar Harian.

He further noted that in 2021, another cosmetic entrepreneur, titled Datin, was arrested for drug trafficking, using the same tactic of disguising criminal activities behind a legitimate business.

"Most recently, in 2024, another case involved a businessman suspected of being involved in drug trafficking in Kelantan," he added. - March 22, 2025
