Indonesia has arrested a Malaysia Airlines pilot who allegedly smuggled 26kg of drugs into Jakarta while on the job and under the influence of drugs, customs officials said on Friday (Jul 31). The 39-year-old Malaysian, identified only as “MS", had flown in from Kuala Lumpur with 14 bags of ecstasy — more than 70,000 tablets — in the pilot's suitcase, and 4g of methamphetamine in his hand luggage. Authorities said it was the third time he had smuggled drugs to Indonesia. The case is under investigation. #malaysia #malaysianews #indonesia #indonesianews
