Police will continue to beef up their surveillance along Malaysia’s border with Thailand.

Bukit Aman says this is after Thailand recently became the first Asian country to legalise the cultivation and possession of marijuana.

It’s concerned that the move will make it easier for smugglers to smuggle cannabis into Malaysia.

The authorities had busted an attempt to smuggle 860 kilograms of the drug from Thailand on Saturday.
