Kluang District Police Chief, ACP Mohd Fawzi Arshad said the 52-year-old man, a local, was held when a Narcotics CID team swung into action at about 2.30pm after receiving information on dadah trafficking.
"Six plastic packets containing dadah believed to be heroin weighing 33.6 grams were found folded inside a newspaper held by the suspect when police was carrying out a body check on him," he told reporters at the Kluang District Police Headquarters Thursday.

In another case, Mohd Fawzi said police apprehended a 43-year-old man and seized dadah from a house in Taman Ria, Kahang here, three days ago.
He said the man, a local, is married but was not working when he was detained at about 12.10pm following public information.
