It may be too early, but there are several stories which may be what USS Clueless is talking about.
Hmmm... keep your eyes on the news for reports that Australia has made an extremely big, and politically extremely complicated, drug bust. It's gonna be an interesting one, with major international ramifications.
A record seizure of 40kg of heroin in Victoria would help police crack an international drug ring, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said.Qwang Lee, 34, a Singaporean, Kiam-Fah Teng, 45, and Yau Kim Lam, 44, both Malaysians, have been charged over the seizure at Lorne on Victoria's south-west coast.
AFP general manager (southern) Graham Ashton said a ship carrying the heroin, which has a street value of about $60 million, was met by a dinghy close to Lorne and brought ashore early Wednesday.
Australian Federal Police have charged two men over the seizure of more than $2 million worth of heroin at Brisbane International Airport.Customs officers found the heroin on two men during a random inspection of passengers arriving into Brisbane this morning.
The men aged 24 and 34 are believed to be Malaysian.
All tests taken during an unannounced raid on Monday at Randwick racecourse in Australia returned negative for banned drugs."The results are very pleasing from an industry point of view," Chief Steward Ray Murrihy told the Australian Associated Press. "We can look forward to a level playing field over the Easter weekend races."
But those top two stories, beyond a superficial connection to Malaysia, don't appear to have any ground-shattering political consequences. We'll see how it goes and it may be too early for the story to have been published, though Mr. Den Beste did post the entry near midnight his time. Almost half a day has passed.
