What substance is suspected to be in the seized vape cartridges?

Question

Accepted Answer

The seized vape cartridges are suspected to contain a new synthetic drug known as ‘Piu Piu’.

During an operation in waters off Tanjung Piai, the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) seized vape cartridges that are suspected to contain a novel synthetic drug identified as ‘Piu Piu’. This discovery was part of a larger drug bust that also included substantial quantities of syabu and ecstasy pills.
Discovery of ‘Piu Piu’ Vape Cartridges

Following the interception of a fibre boat carrying illicit substances, further investigations led authorities to a house in Gelang Patah. There, a yellow Perodua Myvi was searched, resulting in the discovery of 787 vape cartridges. These cartridges are specifically suspected of containing the synthetic drug ‘Piu Piu’, with an estimated value of RM196,750.
Broader Drug Seizure and Value

The operation off Tanjung Piai led to the arrest of two brothers, aged between their 20s and 40s. Authorities intercepted their fibre boat at approximately 12:36 AM. An inspection of the boat revealed 88.2 kilogrammes of suspected syabu, valued at RM4.41 million, and over 30,000 ecstasy pills, worth RM2.25 million, concealed beneath the captain's seat and a pile of nets.
Total Value of Seizures

The total estimated value of all items seized in connection with this case amounts to RM6.95 million. This figure encompasses the drugs, the fibre boat with its outboard engine, and the Perodua Myvi car. The two arrested suspects also tested positive for methamphetamine abuse during an initial drug screening.
