Ah HA! An inside job! Into the wagon with yas... The men will be remanded until Saturday and police hope to nab several others soon based on information obtained, he said at a news conference at the Perak Police Headquarters, here Thursday. He said they believed the activity was carried out by several others who were part of a bigger syndicate that may also involve a foreign network. The Rubber Gang... The missing condoms were realised when the condom-laden container sent from Port Klang to Tokyo on Jan 6, was found empty upon arrival in Tokyo on Jan 25, he said. Uh-oh. Better call Banacek... The goods were produced in two factories, Sagami Manufacturers Sdn Bhd in the Bemban Industrial Park, Batu Gajah, and the Jelapang Industrial Park, here. "Based on reports, the container lorry left the factory in Batu Gajah on Jan 6, and stopped at the Jelapang factory before heading to Port Klang, Selangor, where it was stored for several days before shipment to Japan," he said. |
