Question

Accepted Answer

Police said the illegal hotel party was promoted via Instagram

Police identified a Chinese national detained during a raid last month as the party organiser, and said investigations found the event was promoted to potential attendees through Instagram. Bukit Aman Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (NCID) director Datuk Hussein Omar Khan stated that the party was shared on the platform as part of how it reached those who attended.
The organiser’s role was linked to social media promotion
Police investigations indicated that the detained Chinese national was the organiser of the hotel party connected to deviant activities and drug abuse. Hussein said the event was promoted on Instagram, pointing to the platform as the channel used to draw in attendees.
Officers found drugs were for personal use at the party
Hussein said initial investigations showed the drugs seized were for personal use and were shared among party attendees. He also noted there was no evidence of drug trafficking at that stage, even as authorities continued looking into the matter.
Police are still tracing where the drugs came from
Hussein said intelligence gathering is still ongoing to trace the source of the drug supply. This continued work is aimed at understanding how the drugs used at the hotel party were obtained.
Detentions and charges followed the May 24 raids
On May 24, police arrested 51 men in four raids at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur and seized various types of drugs worth RM103,070. Hussein said 17 individuals were charged under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, one under Section 39A(1), and 33 under Section 12(2), while the Chinese national was charged under Section 12(2) and Section 15(1)(a).
