A local woman and her Pakistani husband were apprehended in Kampung Binjai Manis, Kota Bharu, on suspicion of storing and distributing smuggled cigarettes. Authorities seized 19,600 sticks of contraband tobacco, valued at approximately RM36,748, during the operation conducted by Battalion 8 of the General Operations Force (PGA). The couple, aged 39 and 31 respectively, were reportedly renting the premises where the illicit goods were found. Investigations revealed the woman assisted her husband in managing and selling the smuggled cigarettes, which were supplied by another Pakistani man operating a local grocery store.
