SEPANG — A Pakistani woman who tried to smuggle in RM1.15mil worth of methampethamines sewn into 25 cushion covers was arrested at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

The 50-year-old housewife who had flown to the country from Lahore was nabbed by authorities at the KLIA international arrival gate at about 11am on Sunday.

KLIA Customs director Datuk Chik Omar Chik Lim said the drugs weighing in at a total of 6kg had been sewn into the flaps of each of the 25 fitted cushion covers found in the woman’s luggage.

“When we scanned her luggage, something didn’t look right with the covers, and a thorough inspection revealed that she was carrying about 6kg of methamphetamine neatly sewn into the covers,” he said yesterday.

Chik Omar said the case was the first involving drugs smuggled inside cushion covers that he had encountered.
