ALOR GAJAH, May 17 — The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency foiled an attempt to smuggle in 4.27 million kretek cigarettes of various brands worth RM2.95 million in the waters of Tanjung Sepat, Selangor on Monday .
He said the boats without registration numbers were spotted moving suspiciously on the Traffic Separation Scheme route to Tanjung Sepat, Selangor before fleeing after realising the presence of MMEA assets in the area. “The Maritime boats successfully approached and intercepted the boats at a position 0.07 nautical southwest of Kampung Batu Laut in Tanjung Sepat at about 1.30am on Monday,” he said at a press conference here today.
He added that the high tide, dark and muddy conditions made it difficult for the operation team to locate them, but the boats containing about 400 large boxes of kretek cigarette boxes wrapped in plastic and placed in gunny sacks were successfully confiscated.
