IPOH, Nov 10 — A S$4,000 (RM12,685) job to deliver a package landed a 29-year-old Singaporean in trouble after police found RM1.5 million worth of dried cannabis leaves in his luggage at the Sultan Azlan Shah Airport here on Sunday.

Perak police chief Commissioner Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin said the suspect had been tricked by a syndicate into believing he was transporting a package containing counterfeit luxury-branded goods.

“Preliminary investigations found that the suspect had come across a job offer through a website promising lucrative payment to transport luggage allegedly containing counterfeit luxury-branded goods to London, England,” he told a press conference at the Perak Police Headquarters here.
