Mohd Yusoff was quoted by Harian Metro as saying that most of these individuals share the same modus operandi, which is using their businesses to conceal their criminal activities.
The Kelantan Police Chief then referenced an arrest of a product founder with drugs worth RM5 million in 2020.
He shared,
“Their business looked successful, but in reality, it’s just a cover for illegal activities.”

Mohd Yusoff then revealed another case in 2021, in which a cosmetic entrepreneur with the title of ‘Datin’ was caught for the offence of drug trafficking.
Meanwhile, in another case which was reported by the local media last year, a drug syndicate was found to be headed by a businessperson in Kelantan.
The Kelantan Police Chief elaborated,
“The police traced the businessperson behind a drug syndicate in Kelantan, they committed money laundering through their business and used other individuals to deceive the authorities,”
Mohd Yusoff issued a warning to these individuals that they face strict action for involvement in drug trafficking.
He stressed that the law doesn’t care about their positions or titles and that the Kelantan police contingent won’t compromise with youngsters and influencers who are involved in drug trafficking.
