Johor cops bust 21 drug rings, seize RM81m in drugs since January
JOHOR BAHRU: Johor police have crippled 21 drug trafficking syndicates and seized illicit narcotics worth RM81.07 million in the first five months of this year. Johor police chief Datuk M. Kumar said the success of the Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (JSJN) also led to the arrest of 58 syndicate members and asset seizures worth RM2.26 million. 'Additionally, JSJN recorded an impressive performance, making a total of 10,794 arrests for various drug offences during the same period. They also seized drugs worth RM83.18 million and forfeited assets valued at RM7.49 million,' he said in his speech at the Johor Police Contingent Headquarters monthly gathering here today. Kumar said the Internal Security and Public Order Department also recorded seizures of illicit cigarettes worth RM48,000 and misappropriated subsidised palm oil worth RM1.11 million. Meanwhile, the Criminal Investigation Department contributed by achieving a 59.64 per cent resolution rate for index crimes during the period. Kumar also said that 54 rape cases involving teenagers were recorded from 2023 until last year. 'One of the primary causes is the easy accessibility of pornographic content on social media, the general lack of awareness about Malaysian laws concerning such crimes, and the breakdown of family structures. This situation results in teenagers missing out on attention, affection, and supervision from their parents,' he added. To proactively address the issue, the Sexual Investigation Unit has visited schools to deliver talks and raise awareness among students about such crimes. He urged all parties to take these cases seriously, advising parents to express affection, raise their children with strong religious and moral values and stay vigilant about their children's activities and social circles. Meanwhile, at the monthly gathering, 47 individuals received appreciation awards, including four members of the public and 43 police officers from various ranks, as well as public servants from the Johor contingent. -- BERNAMA

‘Eggs-traordinary' boost for Malaysian poultry stocks
The removal of egg subsidies is the latest step in the government's fiscal consolidation efforts. PETALING JAYA : Poultry stocks saw a boost in their share prices today following the government's announcement it is scrapping price control and subsidies for chicken eggs under its subsidy rationalisation initiative. Teo Seng Capital Bhd and PWF Corp Bhd spiked as much as 8% each, Lay Hong Bhd rose 6% while CCK Consolidated Holdings Bhd edged up 4%. However, the news had muted effect on the large-cap poultry companies. QL Resources Bhd ticked up 0.6% while Leong Hup International Bhd rose 0.8%. QL and Leong Hup are valued at RM17.5 billion and RM2.26 billion, respectively. In contrast, Teo Seng, PWF, Lay Hong and CCK have market capitalisation ranging between RM250 million and RM840 million. The agriculture and food security ministry announced this morning the government will end price control on eggs effective on May 1 as part of its phased subsidy retargeting. Subsidies on eggs will be halved to five sen from 10 sen per unit, before being fully scrapped on Aug 1, 2025. The removal of egg subsidies is the latest step in the government's ongoing fiscal consolidation efforts. 'The government has also taken into account that prolonged price control and subsidy is unsustainable for the local egg producing industry as well as the country's fiscal health,' the ministry statement said. The government initially planned to float egg prices in July 2023 but postponed the move due to concerns about potential price increases and the impact on consumers. It had spent close to RM2.5 billion between February 2022 and December 2024 for subsidies on eggs to help producers cope with rising costs of soybean and corn following the Covid-19 pandemic and Ukraine-Russia conflict. To minimise the impact on cost of living, the government will undertake intervention measures including introducing a new grade of reasonably priced eggs and stepping up enforcement to curb profiteering and price manipulation.
