Police have busted a 3-month-old ketum lab that was operating in a house in Wangsa Maju on New Year's Day.

The syndicate, dubbed  "Ayah Nun" was a Ketum juice wholesaler that was involved in processing ketum leaves and drinks.

Following public tip-off, Kuala Lumpur police chief Commissioner Datuk Mazlan Lazim said police raided the house and recovered both ketum leaves and drinks.

Four suspects, aged between 20 and 50, including the mastermind, were arrested for operating the lab.

They were in the midst of producing ketum juice when police raided the house.

A total of 116kg of unprocessed Ketum leaves and 217 packets of Ketum juice were also seized from the house.

The ketum leaves are sourced from Kedah and transported to the city via express buses.

Datuk Mazlan has advised bus operators not to turn into drug mules and get involved with ketum trafficking activities.

They have agents or dealers who will come and collect the ketum juices packed in plastic bags. The ketum juices are packed in 800ml or litre and sold at RM10 each. The agents will mark-up the price for their profits.)
