In 2021, the Sarawak General Operations Force (GOF) successfully seized contraband goods valued at over RM49.5 million through 439 separate cases. This significant total was largely driven by several key operations targeting various forms of illegal trade and smuggling activities across the state.
Op Kontraban Led Seizures with RM27.7 Million

The operation that yielded the highest value of seized goods was Op Kontraban, which recorded seizures amounting to RM27.7 million. This operation specifically focused on illicit items such as untaxed cigarettes and alcoholic beverages, which are frequently smuggled to avoid duties and regulations.
Op Libas Contributed Over RM14.1 Million in Seizures

Following closely, Op Libas was responsible for the seizure of goods worth more than RM14.1 million. The scope of Op Libas included confiscations of firecrackers, alongside efforts to prevent the smuggling of subsidised goods and natural resources, indicating a broad approach to combating economic leakage.
Op Benteng Covid Recorded RM7 Million in Seizures

Op Benteng Covid accounted for RM7 million worth of seized goods, primarily from vehicles used in the transportation of undocumented immigrants. This operation also led to the arrest of 402 individuals, including 126 locals and 276 foreigners, some of whom were involved in human trafficking and smuggling operations.
