A Malaysia Airlines pilot was arrested at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta on July 28 for allegedly smuggling 26kg of MDMA drugs hidden in his luggage. Indonesian customs authorities released CCTV footage showing the inspection process of the suspect upon arrival, where officers also found a bottle of urine believed to be used for manipulating drug tests. The pilot had gone through all screening processes at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) before departing for Indonesia, but no suspicious objects were detected. Malaysian authorities are investigating the incident, which has raised questions about the effectiveness of security procedures at KLIA.
