Former PM’s Son Arrested In Drug Case? Malaysians Speculate Online
Malaysians Speculate After Former PM’s Son Arrested On Drug Charges
Malaysia is in a frenzy of speculation after police confirmed the arrest of a former prime minister’s son in a high-profile drug case. The authorities have confirmed the arrest but refused to reveal the suspect’s identity, fuelling widespread online debate.
Selangor Police Chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar provided a brief confirmation, saying only: “Yes, I confirm (the arrest),” without naming the individual or family involved.
Arrest In Damansara With Drugs Seized
The arrest reportedly occurred early Sunday morning (24 August) during a special integrated crime prevention operation in Damansara.
“During the inspection of the vehicle involved, police found suspected heroin drugs along with several equipment used for substance abuse. So we detained him for further investigation,” police said in a statement.
Unverified claims circulating online suggest the suspect was driving a Ferrari at the time of the arrest, though police have not confirmed the make of the car.
Viral Police Report And MyKad Image
The speculation intensified after what appears to be an official police report was leaked online. The document allegedly lists 3.16 grams of heroin in a packet labelled “MOTMOD” along with foil, straws, and small containers.
More controversially, a partially obscured MyKad with part of the suspect’s face visible has also gone viral, sparking intense online detective work by Malaysians attempting to identify the high-profile individual.
Online Frenzy Reaches New Heights
With Malaysia having had multiple prime ministers in recent years, social media is flooded with debates about which political family could be linked to the arrest. Some users have even turned to ChatGPT and other AI tools, feeding details from the leaked MyKad in attempts to “narrow down” the possibilities.
Previous Record Adds To The Mystery
The suspect is reportedly being investigated under Section 39A(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and is said to have a prior record for drug-related offences.
Media outlets, however, remain cautious and have refrained from naming the suspect until official confirmation is given by authorities.
Public Reaction
The case has sparked outrage and fascination among Malaysians, with many questioning whether the individual will face the same legal consequences as ordinary citizens. Others expressed frustration at the online frenzy, urging people to wait for official updates rather than rely on speculation.
