Rampant sales of drugs at Sepanggar illegal squatters
KOTA KINABALU May 9, 2012: Drugs are being sold at illegal squatters along Jalan Sepanggar where customers use flames from lighters as signals for drug purchase.
Revealing this yesterday, Karambunai assemblywoman Datuk Hajah Jainab Datuk Seri Panglima Ahmad Ayid said she had notified the police and City Hall regarding the matter but it was still ongoing.
Jainab, who is also Assistant Minister of Resource Development and Information Technology, said the public had complained on Facebook or notified her of the drug transactions going on in the area but the identities of drug dealers were unknown.
She pointed out that the issue had reached a dangerous level, as some drug dealers were lingering outside school fences to sell drugs to students.
Jainab added that every several minute there would be one person tested positive for drugs in his or her urine during road blocks, some of them even locals.
“Maybe it is because of stress, or they want to try drugs, peer pressure, or dealers selling drugs in villages, but they don’t realize that drugs can get them addicted.
“A lot of people don’t realize that drugs are dangerous.”
If there is no demand, there will be no supply of drugs, she said in an interview at the Drug Free Community programme (DAMAI) in Menggatal here yesterday.
The programme also included a 10,000 steps walk to promote healthy living earlier yesterday morning.
Earlier in her speech, Jainab urged the public to be aware of dealers attempting to sell drugs online, at clubs, cyber cafes and on the streets.
She said several areas in Karambunai and Inanam were black areas due to negative activities, including drugs.
Jainab also advised the people not to fall for cheap supplements as they could pay a higher price when the supplements affect their health.
Also present was City Hall director-general Datuk Yeo Boon Hai, who is also the chairman of Malaysia Drug Prevention Association (Pemadam) Kota Kinabalu.

Hopefully the relevant authorities will be able to investigate this sales of drugs by illegal squatters in Sepanggar. Those with any information should go to the police so that they can assist the investigation process.
BalasPadamI was hoping the authorities will make further investigation upon this.
PadamI suggest the police make a crackdown operation on those black areas such as Karambunai, Inanam and Sepanggar. Good job to Datuk Hajah Jainab Datuk Seri Panglima Ahmad Ayid for notifying the police and city hall regarding this illegal activity.
BalasPadamIllegal squatters bring more harm than good.
PadamKalau ada masalah pun tidak perlulah sampai mengambil dadah.Lagi menambahkan masalah.
BalasPadamKan namanya PTI.
PadamKasan sepanggar, PATI yang banyak menjadi pengedar, bikin rosak betul.
PadamBlack area yang dikenalpasti perlu lebih banyak pantauan dan serbuan polis. Tidak mau anak2 muda ramai yang akan rosak sebab najis dadah ni.
BalasPadamKalau mahu cari jenayah check dulu di black area. Pasti dapat jumpa tu.
Padamnajis dadah adalah musuh utama negara.jangan mudah terpengaruh.
PadamBukan memang ramai PATI kah di kawasan seperti Sepanggar dan Inanam tu? kalau buat penyiasatan dan tangkapan boleh buat 2 dalam satu. untuk yang terlibat dengan dadah dan PATI sekaligus.
BalasPadamDiharapkan pihak berkuasa akan membuat operasi mengejut untuk memberkas setinggan haram ini di Sepanggar.
PadamPihak berkuasa perlu segera membuat operasi terutamanya kawasan sepanggar yang banyak dengan PATI dan sering membuat kacau.
PadamItu lah dinamakan bahana yang menimpa pasal terlalu banyak penghuni setinggan.
BalasPadamSetinggan perlu di robohkan terutama kawasan sepanggar, menyakitkan mata sahaja.
Padammasalah setinggan ini harus diatasi. penempatan pati harus dirobohkan.
PadamPathetic.
BalasPadamSetinggan macam tu perlu dimusnahkan kerana hanya menyusahkan saja.
BalasPadamSetinggan haram macam ini patut diberkas dan dihantar balik ke negara asal mereka untuk dipenjarakan atas kesalahan pengedaran dadah. Eh, bukan, mereka haruslah digantung sehingga mati kerana itu barulah undang-undang kita.
Padamya, setinggan haram harus dirobohkan untuk mengatasi masalah seperti dadah.
PadamSyabas kepada rakyat yang menggunakan Facebook untuk menghubungi Datuk Jainab mengenai isu pengedaran dadah daripada pendatang asing. Semoga pihak berkuasa akan mengambil tindakan untuk menangani kes ini.
BalasPadamDatuk Jainab memang perihatin terhadap rakyat terutamanya golongan remaja yang merupa aset negara.
Padamkeprihatinan pemimpin mengenai isu ini adalah amat dihargai.
Padamdadah adalah musuh kita, kita harus hapuskannya.
BalasPadamya, dadah adalah musuh kita dan harus dihapuskan.
Padamdadah harus diperangi dengan sepenuhnya.
BalasPadamBuat operasi membenteras kegiatan tersebut. Orang ramai yang ada maklumat mengenai perkara ini harap akan turun dan memberikan maklumat.
BalasPadamtaktik penjenayah tidak patut didedahkan di media.. dikhuatiri akan manjejaskan siasatan polis sekiranya penjenayah ini mengubah taktik mereka atau lebih dulu melarikan diri sbeelum tangkapan dibuat..
