3 CHINESE DRUG LORDS WANTED IN RP NABBED IN MALAYSIA
Three Chinese men wanted in the Philippines for manufacturing shabu, one
of them carrying a Philippine passport, have been arrested in Malaysia
after they were caught in a secret shabu factory in the western part of
that country.
The information was released yesterday by Undersecretary Anselmo Avenido
Jr., director general of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency ( PDEA
).
Avenido said Ah Tung or Ah Dong, chemist Lin Tsung Huan, and Qui Lian
Jie alias Randy Ngo and Randy Chua were nabbed during a raid at a shabu
laboratory in Semenyih town in Kajang Selangor district, West Malaysia.
Qui was carrying a Philippine passport, he added. Avenido said Lin
and Qui, who each carried a P500,0000 bounty, were in the wanted list of
the Dangerous Drugs Board.
The shabu laboratory in West Malaysia was set up by Quian Yong Dong, a
target of law enforcement agencies in the Philippines, he added.
Avenido said Quian is believed to be responsible for the establishment
of a shabu laboratory in Antipolo which was discovered last Nov.
21.
Quian was also behind the operation of a shabu laboratory raided by the
police on Dec. 9, 2002, he added.
Avenido said Lin admitted during interrogation that he manufactured
shabu in Metro Manila sometime in April to May 2001 in a laboratory
located in an area that was a two-hour drive from the airport.
In Malaysia, Lin used the same procedure for making shabu in the Metro
Manila laboratory, he added.
PDEA officials said Lin could be referring to the laboratory in Lawang
Bato in Valenzuela City which police had busted.
Qui is believed to be the partner of Quian in setting up shabu
laboratories in the Philippines.
Based on the report of the joint investigation committee, the drug
laboratory in Malaysia looked identical to those in the Philippines.
It was also equipped with similar scrubbers, hydrogenators, freezers,
cooking pots, plastic containers and drying gadgets.
Senior Superintendent Lina Sarmiento, chief of the PDEA Plans and
Operations Service, said the PDEA participated in a recent on-site
inspection of the shabu laboratory in Malaysia, along with
representatives of the Australian Federal Police, United States Drug
Enforcement Administration Special Testing Laboratory, Singapore
Forensic Services, the Central Narcotics Bureau, and the Royal Malaysian
Police.
