Four people face death row after cops caught them with massive drug stashes. Two Vietnamese women joined two men at the Johor Baru courthouse where judges read serious trafficking charges. Police found over 12 kilograms of MDMA powder and hundreds of pills at a fancy apartment building. The group could face execution or life behind bars if found guilty. Court officials refused to grant bail for any of the suspects.

Ching Hin Leong and Tay Wei Bin teamed up with Pham Thi Quy and Nong Thi Nhinh during the drug operation. Narcotics officers raided their hideout at R&F Tanjung Puteri around lunchtime on June 19. The bust netted almost three million ringgit worth of illegal substances. Magistrate A. Shaarmini heard the main trafficking charges against all four accused. Defense lawyers stepped forward to represent some of the drug suspects.

Police also hit the crew with possession charges for different drugs. Officers found methamphetamine, sleeping pills, and ketamine at the same location. These smaller charges carry prison terms up to five years or heavy fines. The main suspect Ching faces extra trafficking charges at another apartment building. Vista Puteri Apartment became the second crime scene where police seized more drugs.

None of the accused entered pleas since death penalty cases move to higher courts. September court dates will determine what happens next for the drug trafficking ring. Deputy prosecutors will push for maximum sentences against the international smuggling operation.
