Malaysia and Thailand to focus on women drug traffickers

Posted by Smookiekins On 11/09/2012 01:20:00 PM
Malaysia and Thailand hope to give equal importance and focus on tracking down women drug traffickers since they cannot be considered as just drug mules.

Bukit Aman Narcotics Chief Datuk Noor Rashid Ibrahim said police are aware of the latest trend whereby women are willingly becoming drug traffickers and not being used as drug mules like in the past.

“Maybe all these while police have been focusing on drug traffickers who are men and probably that is why women have seized the opportunity to become drug traffickers.

“This is not a new phenomena because many women are involved willingly and not being forced into such activities,” he told reporters after chairing the 35th Malaysia-Thailand bilateral meeting on Narcotics Law Enforcement Cooperation here yesterday.

Thailand was represented by Deputy Secretary-general of the Thailand Narcotics Control board, Sukhum Opasniputh.

Noor Rashid said statistics involving Malaysians detained for drug offences by Thailand in 2011 showed 17 men and a woman but the statistics released until October this year showed 30 men and seven women were detained in Thailand for drug trafficking.

He added that the number of Thai nationals detained in Malaysia for the year 2011 was 208 men and 66 women but the figures until September showed 145 men and 74 women were detained for drug trafficking.

 “The statistics clearly show that there has been a drastic increase in women drug traffickers. More and more women are daringly involved in drug trafficking,” he said.

Noor Rashid said the three-day meeting was to discuss and take pro-active measures to combat drug trafficking in both countries because both Malaysia and Thailand faced the same problem.

“Malaysia and Thailand are being used as transit for drugs brought in from other countries and this is a very alarming situation. Police in both countries work hand-in-hand and share information. It has been an effective way to combat the drug menace,” he said.

  2. Apa yang kita tahu sekarang ini. Pihak tersebut mengumpan wanita untuk menjadi dadah keldai membawa keluar masuk barang larangan terseebut. Maka berhati-hati kepada wanita diluar sana.

  7. Ibubapa juga harus lebih tegas dengan tindakan anak-anak mereka kerana remaja sering kali mengikut kata kawan malah lebih mudah mempercayai orang yang mereka tidak kenal. Mereka cenderung untuk mempercayai orang yang kononnya baik pada mereka padahal orang itu mencari lubuk. jadi, hati-hati

  8. Remaja perempuan juga harus lebih berhati-hati. jangn mudah termakan dan tergoda dengan kata-kata manis leleki (kebnyakkan dari mereka adalah foreigner). Kerna mereka mungkin akan memperdagangkan anda.

  9. selain itu, yang boleh mereka jadikan sasaran juga adalah mereka yang mengalami massalah kewangan. mungkin mereka akan menipu dengan meminta tolong untuk menghantar barang ke negara lain dengan kadar bayaran yang agak lumayan. pada mereka yang perlukan duit sangat-sangat kadang-kadang tak terfikir lagi yang mereka sedang terperangkap. Jd, kawan-kawan yang aktif sangat dengan social networking, jangan sangat terbuka dengan status anda kerana anda mungkin sedang diperhati. U might didnt remember who all those u have been added in ur friends... be careful!!
