KUALA LUMPUR: Federal Narcotics Department police have compiled a list of 30 drinks in the local market which have been altered by syndicates by adding drugs.
This is believed to be the latest tactic of drug syndicates to increase sales, targeting new markets by creating addictions to these drinks.
Narcotics Department director Datuk Seri Mohmad Salleh said these “products” were often found being consumed by youth at entertainment outlets and wild parties.
“We are taking a serious view of this as we have found that this is getting more frequent and more worrying by the day. We would welcome any information about this type of drug distribution.”
Mohmad said police will go all out to put a stop to such activities and would target entertainment outlets as well as monitor information about open parties being held at luxury hotels, residences and condominiums.
