Kelantan police are investigating claims that drug smugglers are hiding drugs in the rectums of cows and goats, using livestock pens as transit points. Police Chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said intelligence suggests smugglers may deprive animals of food and water to prevent defecation and drug loss. No solid evidence has been found yet.
Cattle smuggling from Thailand, both legal and illegal, often occurs along narrow river stretches from Pasir Mas to Tanah Merah. Authorities are tightening border security and cooperating with Thai forces. Kelantan remains a key drug transit hub, with narcotics typically moved to other states or countries.
