Customs wants fags, liquor smugglers jailed
The Customs Department is in the process of asking for mandatory jail sentence be imposed on offenders for the smuggling and illegal distribution and selling of cigarettes and liquor.
Its deputy director-general (Enforcement and Compliance), MatrangSuhaili, said the application was made as the compound fines imposed currently under the Customs Act 1967 were no longer effective in stemming these illegal activities which caused losses to the country.
