Health authorities team up with cops to tackle dangerous vape cartridges packed with illegal drugs. Deputy Health Minister Lukanisman Awang Sauni reveals police recorded 96 cases involving contaminated vape liquids between early last year and March. Laboratory tests show more than 70 percent of seized samples contain synthetic cannabinoids and amphetamines. Officials ramp up inspections while working closely with law enforcement to catch criminals poisoning vape products. The crackdown targets suspicious samples before they reach unsuspecting users across the country.
Manufacturing facilities face stricter monitoring as authorities hunt for illegal substance sources. Lukanisman admits investigators have not yet identified the producers behind these tainted vape liquids. Police continue gathering evidence before launching enforcement actions under current legislation. The deputy minister spoke at a joint health awareness event at IOI Mall surrounded by state officials. Ongoing investigations will determine which laws apply to prosecute those responsible for contaminating vape products.
Government forms a special committee during May to tackle the growing crisis. Deputy Director-General Dr Ismuni Bohari leads efforts to review existing regulations governing smoking products. Lawmakers examine the recently gazetted Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Act 2024. The new legislation provides additional tools for authorities battling drug-contaminated vaping devices. Health officials promise tougher penalties for anyone caught manufacturing or distributing these deadly products.
