CHANGLUN: The National Anti-Drug Agency (Nada) today raided a house in Kampung Belukar here where ketum leaves were being ground into powder for distribution on the international market.
The agency’s Kubang Pasu team, led by its operation chief Mohd Shafieq Ismail, raided the premises at 10am based on a tip-off.
They arrested a mentally disabled man, in his 30s, who is suspected of having been employed to assist in processing the ketum leaves.
