LIMBANG: Police have denied the claim by Sarawak PKR chairman Baru Bian that Syabu or scientifically known as methamphetamine is now easily available here to the extent of being sold at vegetable and poultry markets at RM50 a piece.
An irate Limbang OCPD, Supt Mohd Bukhori Saffai said so far after thorough investigation, there was no basis for the allegation because while some arrests had been made by police, none were in vegetable and
poultry markets.
“I hope Baru can back up his claim with solid proof so we can act fast, but until today there was no basis to it,” he said here yesterday.
Bukhori said police were even willing to provide Baru with official statistics on drug-related cases in Limbang, but the state PKR chairman had never made any official request for this to the police.
“Yes, we made some arrests and one of the cases involved a suspect whose mother is a vegetable seller but when we arrested him, the location was not a vegetable market.” — Bernama
