KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 12 — The Malaysian police is collaborating with the Australian Federal Police (AFP) to carry out an investigation into the arrest of a Malaysian man in connection with a drug seizure.

Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Kamarudin Md Din said the 34-year-old man was among the four individuals arrested following the seizure of 622kg of methamphetamine in Melbourne.

“All actions will be taken to ensure that any drug distribution and smuggling activities that are a threat to the country can be eradicated without compromise.”

The media today reported that the Australian police have arrested four men after the methamphetamine was found hidden inside a shipment of toilet paper rolls which arrived in Melbourne via sea cargo from Malaysia on Oct 4.

The drugs seized have an estimated street value of almost A$560 million (RM1.7 billion).
