MELAKA, The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) discovered six kilograms of syabu, estimated to be worth RM300,000, on the beach at Pulau Konet, Telok Gong here early today.

Melaka and Negeri Sembilan MMEA director, Captain (M) Mohd Khairi Abd Aziz, said the syabu was found wrapped in Chinese tea packaging during the 3.20 am incident.

‘While conducting a routine patrol, a Maritime asset spotted a suspicious boat heading towards Pulau Konet. The suspect quickly sped towards shallow waters to escape.
