PETALING JAYA: A General Operations Force (GOF) member, two locals and six foreigners were detained for the alleged possession of a banned substance, believed to be ketum.
Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the suspects were detained at the GOF Central Brigade's quarters at about 10pm on Monday (Aug 5).
