Indonesia arrests second Malaysian in days for drug smuggling

SURABAYA, Indonesia: Indonesian authorities have arrested a second Malaysian in days for allegedly smuggling methamphetamine and ecstasy into the country, a crime that carries the death penalty in the Southeast Asian nation. A 22-year-old identified only as “DI” was detained in Surabaya, Indonesia’s second-largest city, on Monday shortly after landing on a flight from Kuala Lumpur, airport security task force head Novi Manunggal said in a statement. Acting on a tipoff, officials at the airport found “methamphetamine and ecstasy pills attached to the suspect’s body,” Novi’s statement said.
