While you can usually find anything and everything online, it’s wise to be cautious about what you add to your cart.
Netizens have been buzzing with their own theories and speculations after stumbling upon a suspicious TikTok account that appears to be selling “candy” from Thailand called Candy Fun.
Suspicious account selling candy
Although the account appears harmless at first glance, many suspect that the so-called “candy” might actually be a cover for something far more questionable.
According to The Straits Times, the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) has warned parents about a new recreational drug in the form of lollipops, known as “party lollipops” or “drunk lollipops,” which are gaining popularity among young people and partygoers.
These lollipops are being sold openly on social media following crackdowns on other drugs. Tests conducted by the ONCB revealed that some of these candies contain dangerous substances, including nimetazepam, tramadol, and ketamine.
One netizen shared screenshots of a TikTok account on X (formerly known as Twitter), pointing out how it’s openly selling drugs disguised as candies.
The caption of the post reads,
“Who’s even in charge of TikTok Malaysia? What sub-company is running it? All their moderators are young and can’t even check the comments properly? People make minor mistakes and you take their posts down, but something like this slips through?”
Each pack costs RM20
Screenshots of the comments on the account’s posts are raising alarms among netizens, as discussions show customers asking about the so-called “candy.”
In the comments, someone even inquired about the price, to which the response mentioned that 10 pieces would cost RM200.
The concern among netizens about the account has spread widely, with many expressing their worries about the potential dangers associated with it.
“How can they sell drugs on TikTok? I hope the police catch them soon.”
“That’s really unacceptable. TikTok Malaysia needs to be more stringent in monitoring content. Young moderators also need to be more attentive and responsible. This is a serious issue.”
“I’ve never seen it on my timeline before. Imagine if a little kid buys it.”
“Are those really drugs? I just found out. All this time, I thought it was the 50-cent candy.”
