POLICE have confirmed that no official reports or complaints have been received regarding social media allegations that sweets containing illicit substances are being sold in local supermarkets.
Narcotics Crime Investigation Department Director Datuk Hussein Omar Khan stated that no victims have come forward to file a report, and authorities have not detected any prohibited substances, specifically narcotics, in confectionery currently available on the market.
He explained that his department maintains a continuous collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the Department of Chemistry Malaysia, and the National Anti-Drug Agency to monitor and investigate any related issues to guarantee consumer safety.
"Should there be any matters that need to be known by the public, the Royal Malaysia Police will announce it through official media channels," Harian Metro reported him saying in Kuala Lumpur today.
According to him, the claims circulating on social media regarding the matter cannot be treated as factual until they are proven and verified by the relevant authorities.
Hussein added that the police will continue to monitor the situation and investigate any information received to ensure that public welfare and safety remain protected.
He also advised members of the public not to be easily influenced by allegations spread by irresponsible parties or unverified sources on social media.
The statement follows the recent circulation of photos on social media showing sweets allegedly sold at a supermarket, with claims that they contained substances capable of causing children and adults to lose focus and suffer from memory lapses. - June 16, 2026
