SECURITY on the Thailand-Malaysia border has been tightened to deter drug smuggling, after Malaysian authorities captured a suspected member of alleged Lao drug lord Xaysana Keopimpha’s network.

 

The ramped-up security is taking place at the border crossing in Yala’s Betong district, following the arrest of Kamarudin bin Awang and the seizure of money allegedly made from drug-dealing.

 

An officer said that because of the arrest of Kamarudin bin Awang, it was suspected that other members of Xaysana’s network would attempt to smuggle drugs from Thailand across the border to Malaysia during the busy weekend period.

All in all, it's just another brick in The Wall!

So nobody is trying to stop the importation of drugs from Laos through Thailand?
