manufacture, distribution and sale of substances which are

counts of abuse of power, money

political party, or business, intended to

“Omnipresence Program” to fight crimes.

raising police presence in residential and business areas. Police

policing programmes.

Drug trafficking

Malaysia strictly enforces its drug laws. If you possess, use, or traffic in
illegal drugs in Malaysia, you will be sentenced to significantly longer
prison sentences and much heavier fines than in the United States.
Malaysian legislation provides for a mandatory death penalty for
convicted drug traffickers.

Malaysian legislation provides for a mandatory death penalty for convicted

drug traffickers. If you are arrested in possession of 15 grams (1/2 ounce) of
heroin or 200 grams (seven ounces) of marijuana, you will be presumed by
law to be trafficking in drugs.
