09:34 | ,

79 Malaysians jailed abroad for drugs: "729 Malaysians, half of them women, are serving jail terms overseas for drug trafficking after they were used by syndicates as drug mules, said Deputy Foreign Minister A. Kohilan Pillay.
“Women including university graduates and single mothers aged between 20 and 35 often fall prey to promises of job opportunities overseas with lucrative salaries.
“But they end up being arrested for drug trafficking,” he said during the winding up of the Supplementary Supply Bill.
Kohilan also noted that most of the Malaysians were in prisons in Thailand, followed by Taiwan and Singapore.
To questions about Datuk Arshad Hussain, who served as Malaysia’s Permanent Repre­sentative to the United Nations in Vienna, Kohilan said his contract had ended recently."
