KUALA LUMPUR: Any decision on allowing ketum leaves from this country to be exported to Thailand as suggested by Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, should go through the Cabinet, Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Datuk Razarudin Hussain said this was because the matter would involve amendment to the related Act.
"Ketum comes under the Poisons Act 1952, so maybe the Kedah MB (Menteri Besar) has his own views on this but if this idea is good, perhaps it should be brought to the Federal Government for approval.
