SINGAPORE:” Be watchful. Do no put it, it may explode. This is a bomb”.
This was the warning on a package that arrived at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA ) Cargo Terminal on Thursday ( April 25 ), adding that security checks discovered it contained a laptop, batteries, and wires.
However, it afterwards turned out to be a scam.
The Royal Malaysia Police’s Bomb Disposal Unit took action in accordance with standard operating procedures ( SOP),” said Assistant Commissioner Azman Shari’at, KLIA district police chief, adding that the package contained no explosive materials but had a threatening statement on it.
According to Mr. Azman, who was quoted in local advertising, additional studies were still being conducted in accordance with Section 506 of the Penal Code for legal risk.
The official operating the scanning device reported to the police at 1.30pm about a bundle being addressed to someone in Limbang, Sarawak, according to the district chief.
Mr. Azman claimed that the scanned bundle was mistaken for a laptop, a battery, and some wires, and that a police officer discovered a note claiming the package had a bomb after the officer had checked it.
A crew was dispatched to the spot upon receiving the document, and the K- 9 product was even dispatched, he added.
” The officers immediately conducted an investigation. Detection using puppies from the K- 9 system found it bad for bombs”, said Mr Azman, cited in the Malay Mail.
The Bomb Disposal Product was called in, the deal was destroyed using a mechanical device, and there was no explosion, despite the standard operating procedure.
The government contacted the recipient of the deal, who is in Kuala Lumpur, and he confirmed its components.  ,
According to the police, the receiver is the subject of an investigation under Section 506 of the Penal Code for legal challenges.  ,
After the airline’s Terminal 1 became the site of a shooting on April 14 that left one person injured, police just doubled the workers size and increased inspections at KLIA.
