23 February, Seri Iskandar.  After a six-month police investigation, seventeen local and international students and two former students at Universiti Teknologi Petronas were arrested on drug charges today.  Two detectives, (some working undercover as clients), caught the students involved in "hand to hand” drug exchanges. The students sold heroin and various types of ecstasy, as well as prescription drugs such as Xanax, hydrocodone and Oxycontin.


“There’s no doubts all arrested today are drug dealers,” Ipoh Police Chief Syed Iskandar said in a press conferences held this morning. The investigations raise the head after parents, the students complained to administrators about the rising use of drugs among university students in the past several years. "I don't think it's a football problem," said University Vice Chancellor Datuk Zainal Abidin of the player’s involvement in the drug deals. They said they were getting heroin from “friends of friends”. The university has not yet released the results of the test.
