“However, I can confirm in fighting drugs, we won’t compromise with investigations in this case,” he told reporters at special media briefing in Bukit Aman this evening. Hamid added that when a team of police moved in, all the individuals were found in an unconscious state because they were all intoxicated and high from the drugs.
Others supposedly arrested following the raid include the implicated assemblyman’s personal aide, special officers to the Home Affairs minister and Youth and Sports minister, an assistant of the prime minister’s political secretary, and a student from the Unitar University in Kelana Jaya.
