KUALA LUMPUR, El Sky News – The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and other enforcement agencies today continue to intensify operations to combat various forms of crime, from large-scale smuggling to murder and drug cultivation cases. The main focus is on the seizure of minerals worth millions of ringgit and developments in an ongoing murder investigation that have attracted public attention.
Joint Operation Seizes Illegal Minerals Worth RM2.5 Million
In Ipoh, authorities successfully seized a large quantity of Silico Manganese mineral, weighing approximately 700,000 kilograms. The material, valued at around RM2.5 million, was confiscated during a joint enforcement operation that demonstrates the government’s strong commitment to tackling illegal mining and smuggling activities that cause significant economic losses to the nation.
This seizure serves as a stern reminder to those attempting to profit illegally from the country’s natural resources.
Seven Arrested to Assist Puchong Murder Investigation
In the development of violent crime cases, the investigation into the discovery of the body of an Indian permanent resident at a shoplot staircase in Pusat Bandar Puchong is progressing. The Serdang District Police Chief confirmed that six Indian nationals, who were the victim’s housemates, have been arrested to assist with the investigation.
Police are now actively tracking down the main suspect, who is also believed to be an Indian national. The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
Marijuana Farm Discovered in Luxury Bangsar Condominium
The modus operandi of drug-related crimes continues to evolve.

The 48-year-old male suspect reportedly learned the planting techniques through online video platforms.
Police also seized two marijuana plants along with 27 grams of dried leaves. The case highlights the growing challenge of combating domestic drug trafficking, especially those involving covert cultivation methods.
