Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he wanted the report presented to him in two weeks, aimed at discovering how and why it happened, which he described as a national humiliation.
"So I have asked the Customs, which is responsible, to provide a full report on how and why it happened, after ‘12, 16 times’ till they were caught in Australia, as it shows the weaknesses in our system that we need to address,” he said during his speech at an iftar event at the Home Ministry here today .
Smuggling was not a small matter and the focus should not only be about the large amount of drugs or its value in millions, but the weaknesses in the national security system, the Prime Minister said. The 336kg heroin was stashed in two 500kg concrete blocks and checks revealed that the shipment was declared as solar panel accessories and arrived in Brisbane Port from Malaysia on March 13.
