Kota Kinabalu: More than 300 kilogrammes of drugs worth RM15 million were seized by the Sabah Royal Malaysian Customs Department (JKDM) during an inspection of a container at Sepanggar Port recently.

Sabah JKDM director Ahmad Taufik Sulaiman said the seizure was made at about 11.30am on April 22 following intelligence received on a container brought in from Port Klang.

He said a team from the Narcotics Branch of the Sabah Enforcement Division, together with the Import and Export Branch at Sepanggar Port, carried out a detailed inspection at the Customs Examination Area.
