BNN Says Malaysia Is The Gate For Drug Entry To Indonesia In Today's Memory, September 19, 2019

JAKARTA Memories of today, six years ago, September 19, 2019, the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) confirmed that the smuggling of methamphetamine and ecstasy mostly entered Indonesian territory from Malaysia. The smuggling was carried out using the mode of handover from ship to ship.

Previously, BNN was often at the forefront of fighting drugs entering Indonesia. These illicit goods are considered dangerous for the nation's children. BNN also found that most of the drugs circulating did not come from within the country, but abroad.

Resistance to drug trafficking is not easy. The demand for illicit goods continues to rise. This condition makes many international drug dealers target Indonesia as a location for drug trafficking.

This condition made BNN work hard to uncover the mode of drug smuggling. BNN continues to carry out surveillance and arrests. At its peak, the BNN era of Budi Waseso destroyed the largest drug evidence on August 15, 2017.

The evidence that was destroyed reached 1.4 tons of crystal methamphetamine and 1.2 million pills of ecstasy by BNN. On the same day, 2.73 tons of marijuana were destroyed, 1.4 tons of crystal methamphetamine, 1,264,445 ecstasy pills, 36 thousand happy five, and 5.6 psychotropic items of class IV by a number of Polda throughout Indonesia.

The destruction is included in the Indonesian Record Museum (MURI) as the achievement of the destruction of the largest evidence. BNN also continues to supervise. They want to block all drugs entering Indonesia, especially methamphetamine and ecstasy entering Indonesia.

The BNN era of Heru Wijanarko did not want to lose. They are trying to ward off all kinds of drug smuggling modes to Indonesia. As a result, BNN managed to uncover seven cases from July to August 2019.

The average smuggling case involves international networks. This condition made BNN cooperate with the narcotics agency of neighboring countries. Everything so that resistance to drugs can be carried out massively.

"The number was reduced to laboratory tests and evidence of cases at trial with a total of 77.310 grams of crystal methamphetamine and 631.940 grams of marijuana confiscated initial evidence," said Heru as quoted by sambukompas.com, September 19, 2019.

The drug smuggling case that was revealed opened a new veil on September 19, 2019. BNN emphasized that the smuggling of methamphetamine and ecstasy types that entered Indonesia mostly came from Malaysia.

The mode of drug smuggling is carried out by handing over by sea or from ship to ship. At first, methamphetamine was carried by ship from Malaysia and picked up by ships from Indonesia. After that, drugs were smuggled by modifying the ship, then cars to trick the officers.

Most of the methamphetamine also comes from the Penang area, Port Klang and the Indonesia-Malaysia border area. BNN is also increasingly wary of drug smuggling modes from Malaysia.

"Most of the methamphetamine and ecstasy drugs by smuggling by sea route came from Malaysia. The modus operandi is changing at any time, it's useful to trick the officers. If the car, (drugs) are put into tires, boxes, and there are also cars that are specially designed to store these items," said Deputy for Eradication of BNN, Arman Depari as quoted by Lawankompas.com, September 19, 2019.
