In a significant bust, the General Operations Force has thwarted two attempts to smuggle nearly RM1 million worth of plants from Thailand into Malaysia. The southeast brigade commander, Nik Ros Azhan Nik Hamid, revealed that the successful operation is a major blow to plant smuggling rings. With the rise of plant trafficking, Malaysian authorities are increasing efforts to curb such activities, utilizing keywords like 'plant smuggling' and 'border security' to monitor and prevent illegal trade. The crackdown on plant smuggling highlights the importance of 'customs enforcement' in protecting the country's ecosystem.
