On 6 November 2026, Malaysian police announced the arrests of a 17-year-old schoolmate and an 18-year-old who was no longer in school on suspicion of supplying a drug-laced vape to a secondary-school student in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan.[1] The two suspects were alleged to have supplied the vape device to the student victim.[2] The student at the centre of the case, a 17-year-old boy, had preliminarily tested positive for ketamine, benzodiazepines and THC after a video showed him apparently in a dazed state.[3]

Police believed the video of the boy hunched over in a classroom was filmed on 28 October 2026 at a secondary school in Nilai.[1] Police analysis of the vape liquid used by the student detected ketamine, benzodiazepines and cannabinoids, the generic term for components found in cannabis.[1] The Star’s police account likewise lists ketamine, benzodiazepines and cannabinoids among the substances indicated in the vape liquid.[2]

The student had bought the vape from a friend, who had bought it through social media with delivery to the home.[1] Police said they were tracking another individual believed to have supplied the vape to the two suspects.[4] Preliminary urine tests on both arrested teenagers also returned positive results for drugs.[4] Police referred all three teenagers to the National Anti-Drugs Agency for further action under the Drug Dependants (Treatment and Rehabilitation) Act 1983.[4]
