Cempaka Health, Welfare and Society: Malaysians nabbed for drug smuggling: "Oen B. Giap, who works as a welder, and Wong CH, an air conditioner technician.
The suspects arrived on a Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong on Thursday.
“The suspects confessed to investigators that they were promised MYR 16,000 [Rp 45 million] if they handed the drugs to a connection in Jakarta,” Bahaduri said.
“They were apparently part of an international drug-smuggling syndicate,” he said.
He said his office received a tip-off on the two suspects before they arrived in Jakarta.
He said officers spotted them easily as both looked suspicious with bulky waistlines due to the drug packets.
He said the suspects would be charged with violating the 2009 Narcotics Law. If found guilty, they face the death sentence."
