Kuala Lumpur police chief Fadil Marsus said 23 suspects, including six foreigners, aged between 21 and 40 were arrested in the sting carried out last week.

“The drugs were meant to be distributed to some 1.31 million addicts,” he said at a press conference here today.

Most of the drugs seized were MDMA, although ketamine, ecstasy and Erimin 5 pills were also confiscated, Fadil said.
