ISKANDAR PUTERI – Thirteen individuals have been detained for being a part of a drug-fuelled private party in Pangsapuri Medini here in Johor.

Among those detained are two wanted individuals – a drug offence and a civil servant – as well as 11 of the rest who tested positive for methamphetamine. 

The police also seized a set of speakers and laser stage lighting.

The suspects are aged between 17 and 27.
