JERTIH: The secret of a padi farmer leading a luxurious lifestyle in Kampung Pasir Akar, here, was exposed after he was nabbed on Wednesday on suspicion of being involved in drug trafficking activities.

Besut police chief Superintendent Abdul Rozak Muhammad said the 36-year-old man, who lives in a bungalow and owns a Toyota Hilux and Perodua Alza, was detained about 5.30pm.



“Further inspection in the suspect’s home found five transparent packets containing compressed blocks suspected to be cannabis weighing 4.9kg and worth RM12,500.

“Police also seized two motorcycles and cash amounting to RM11,450, bringing the total amount of seized items to RM193,450,” he told reporters at the Besut police headquarters here today.
