Harian Metro and Astro Awani describe an operation 'around Selangor', while RTM places the raid in Puchong Prima; the report uses the more precise RTM locality.
The Sun Daily summarises the remand as under section 38B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, while Bernama-based accounts say Section 39B; the report uses 39B as reported by the majority of the opened accounts.
The value of RM327,600 for the cannabis comes from the RTM account of the press conference and is the police's own estimate.
No name or nationality beyond 'a local man', no charge and no court outcome were reported.
RTM's figure of RM126,062 in vehicles and jewellery is given as the asset forfeiture under two operations, not this raid alone, so it is not recorded as a figure for this case.
No photo of the actual seizure was available; the only image on these pages shows the police director at the press conference.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in Harian Metro: In the raid, police also seized two cars, a motorcycle, three watches and various items of jewellery.
The submitted Berita Harian account gives only a combined 494.55 kg and RM19.59 million for both operations and names no drug type, so no cannabis figure can be drawn from it.
The RM126,062 in vehicles and jewellery is given for both operations together, not for the Puchong Prima cannabis case alone.
This Berita Harian account places the cannabis raid only 'around Selangor', while the report follows RTM in naming Puchong Prima.
The two cars, motorcycle, three watches and jewellery are described here for the cannabis raid alone, while RTM reports RM126,062 in vehicles and jewellery forfeited across two operations; the report still records no figure for them.
The Sun's English text cites remand under section 38B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, while the report and the fuller Bernama/Astro Awani account cite Section 39B; the report retains 39B as the majority account.
The Sun's English version places the cannabis raid only 'in Selangor' and omits Puchong Prima, Op Eupeodes, the RM327,600 police valuation and distribution since August, which come from the report's earlier RTM and Malay sources.
