🇲🇾 Jalan Kasban, Jeram Perdah, Rantau Panjang, Kelantan · Malaysia
The chase ended on Jalan Kasban in Jeram Perdah, Rantau Panjang, on a Wednesday
evening after a motorcycle skidded on a muddy road and the rider fled into
bushes.[1][2]A man riding a Honda Wave motorcycle had acted suspiciously before
entering Lorong Sapi in the area.[1][3]General Operations Force officers
following him identified themselves as senior police officers and ordered him to
stop for inspection.[1][4]The rider instead sped off to escape before the
motorcycle he was riding skidded on the muddy road.[1][4]He then fled into
nearby bushes and could not be found despite officers searching the surrounding
location.[1]
He left behind a motorcycle and two bags containing 100 compressed blocks of
suspected cannabis weighing about 11 kilograms and valued at RM34,100.[1][5][2]A
pink-and-grey backpack held 40 greenish compressed blocks of suspected cannabis
weighing 4.4kg, while a green-and-white luggage bag held 60 blocks weighing
6.6kg.[1][5][4][2]Police put the drugs seized at an estimated 11kg worth RM34,100,
besides a Honda Wave motorcycle worth RM1,000 and one vehicle key.[1][2]Police
put the overall seizure value at an estimated RM35,100.[1][2][3]
The incident happened at about 8.30pm while a Strike Force team from Company A
of Battalion 7 of the General Operations Force was conducting a motorcycle
patrol.[1][2]A check of the motorcycle’s engine and chassis numbers found no
record, so the vehicle is believed to have come from Thailand.[1][4][2]The case is
being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.[1][5][2]The
seizure was handed to the Pasir Mas District police narcotics investigation
division for further action.[1][5][4][2]
The rider was on an unregistered Honda Wave motorcycle believed to have been brought from Thailand.[4]Kosmo! put the value of the 40 blocks at RM13,640 and the 60 blocks at RM20,460, which sum to the RM34,100 total.[4]
Utusan Malaysia describes the motorcycle he rode as a supersport model, not the Honda Wave named in the Sinar Harian account.[5]
Berita RTM reported that the case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.[3]

The article gives Wednesday evening at about 8.30pm but no calendar date; 4 November 2026 is inferred from its 5 November 2026 publication date.
The rider's identity is unknown and no arrest, charge or court outcome was reported; he remained at large after fleeing into bushes.
The motorcycle's believed Thai origin rests only on the absence of engine and chassis records and is not confirmed.
RM34,100 is the police estimate for the cannabis, not an independently verified value.
Only one accessible account of this event was found after searching in Malay and English.
The three accounts give no calendar date for the evening, described only as Wednesday; 4 November 2026 is inferred from the 5 November 2026 publication dates.
Kosmo!'s per-bag values are round estimates that add exactly to the quoted RM34,100 and are police figures rather than market appraisals.
Utusan Malaysia's page photo is a PGA handout of the compressed blocks shown at a police location, not of the roadside where the motorcycle skidded.
Neither Utusan nor Kosmo! reports an arrest, charge or court outcome; the rider remained at large.

Utusan Malaysia describes the abandoned motorcycle as a supersport model while the Sinar Harian account, and the text of this report, name it as a Honda Wave; the discrepancy is unresolved.
Kosmo! and Berita RTM place the incident at Jeram Perdah near Pasir Mas, Pasir Mas district, while Utusan places Jeram Perdah in Rantau Panjang; the report keeps Rantau Panjang.
Berita RTM describes the abandoned motorcycle as red and reports one vehicle key recovered with it; Kosmo! gives no colour.
Neither account reported an arrest; the rider remained at large after fleeing into scrub.
