RANTAU PANJANG: After 10 years in the police force, a corporal never imagined that a routine anti-drug operation would turn life-threatening when a suspect armed with a parang slashed his left arm.
He said he was part of a police team that raided a house in Kampung Lalang Pepuyu, Tanah Merah, on Oct 17 as part of a special operation to curb drug abuse.
"The suspect and his mother were at the house when we arrived.
"The suspect was in a room when he spotted us entering his house. Armed with a parang, he immediately fled and ran towards the main road."
