SHAH ALAM – The Selangor police have rejected allegations suggesting officers are involved in reselling or reintroducing seized drugs to the market, calling such claims baseless and aimed at damaging the force's reputation.
Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar reaffirmed the police's commitment to tackling the drug problem and assured the public that every gramme of seized drugs is properly accounted for, Bernama reported.
“The Selangor Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) firmly denies these unsubstantiated allegations from any party suggesting that the police are reselling or releasing seized drugs,” he said at a press conference on the disposal of drug case items and investigation papers at the Selangor police headquarters today.
“As is widely known, the Selangor NCID disposes of drug-related case items annually in accordance with established procedures and guidelines for cases that have been concluded in court,” he added.
Shazeli assured the public that all seized drugs are handled with the highest standards of care, responsibility, and integrity, in line with both investigative procedures and legal requirements.
“Every gramme of seized drugs is recorded and subjected to scrutiny during the court trial process,” he noted.
In demonstrating their ongoing efforts to combat drug abuse, Shazeli revealed that 596.2 kilogrammes of drugs and 2,744 litres of drug mixtures have been disposed of from cases concluded between 2022 and 2025.
The drugs disposed of include ganja, syabu, ecstasy powder, ketum leaves, MDMA, heroin, suspected drug powder, Erimin 5, ketamine, ecstasy pills, suspected drug liquids, ketum juice, and codeine, collectively valued at RM10.3 million.
Additionally, 12,178 drug-related investigation papers from 1995 to 2019 were disposed of as part of efforts to enhance record management and ensure compliance, Shazeli added.
All drugs will be sent to a disposal site managed by the government-appointed company Cenviro Sdn Bhd, located in Bukit Pelandok, Port Dickson.
Between January and October this year, police opened 30,214 investigation papers under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and the Poisons Act 1952, leading to 34,010 arrests.
Of these, 775 individuals were arrested for drug trafficking under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
“Police have also taken preventive action under the Special Preventive Measures Act 1985, detaining 102 individuals involved in drug trafficking syndicates this year,” Shazeli said.
For repeat drug users, 983 individuals have been charged under Section 15(1)(a), with penalties under Section 39C(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
In a bid to dismantle drug syndicates completely, the police have also initiated actions under the Dangerous Drugs (Forfeiture of Property) Act 1988, seizing various assets and financial resources valued at RM18.32 million. – November 14, 2025
