PETALING JAYA: An elite team that embodies the virtues of integrity, bravery and morality is critical to overcome the illegal cigarettes super cartel, said a former police chief of Sarawak, Datuk Dr. Yusoff Nook.
His comments came following recent reports of four officers from the Royal Malaysian Customs Department being charged for releasing two containers of seized illegal cigarettes. “This unprecedented case underscores the severity of criminal infiltration into our law enforcement agencies that have propelled Malaysia into the No. 1 spot of illegal cigarettes trafficking in the world,” he said in a statement today.
