abstract

  • Drug smuggling is a threat faced by all countries, including Malaysia. The existence of Thailand’s Golden Triangle in the early 1950s led to the entry of drugs into Malaysia by drug trafficking syndicates. The country’s proximity to Thailand’s Golden Triangle has led to drug trafficking syndicates, making Malaysia a transit hub for international drug smuggling and distribution. Drug smuggling syndicates are always looking for ways to bring drugs into Malaysia using various types of smuggling methods to obscure the security forces that guard the country’s borders. This situation occurs because there is a high demand for drug supply. This study was conducted to identify the drug smuggling methods that drug smuggling syndicates have used to bring in drugs from the Golden Triangle of Thailand to Malaysia. The study used a qualitative method based on two data sources: primary data and secondary data. Primary data were obtained through a process of field research and interviews with informants. Meanwhile, secondary data sources were obtained from scholarly books, academic theses, journal articles and official government documents. The findings of the study describe the methods used by drug smuggling syndicates to bring in drugs from the Golden Triangle of Thailand to Malaysia, as well as the factors that cause the entry of drugs from abroad.
