Kaedah Penyeludupan Dadah yang Dijalankan Sindiket Penyeludupan Dadah dari Segi Tiga Emas Thailand ke Malaysia
Main Article Content
Abstract
Drug smuggling is a threat faced by all countries, including Malaysia. The existence of Thailand’s Golden Triangle in the early 1950s led to the entry of drugs into Malaysia by drug trafficking syndicates. The country’s proximity to Thailand’s Golden Triangle has led to drug trafficking syndicates, making Malaysia a transit hub for international drug smuggling and distribution. Drug smuggling syndicates are always looking for ways to bring drugs into Malaysia using various types of smuggling methods to obscure the security forces that guard the country’s borders. This situation occurs because there is a high demand for drug supply. This study was conducted to identify the drug smuggling methods that drug smuggling syndicates have used to bring in drugs from the Golden Triangle of Thailand to Malaysia. The study used a qualitative method based on two data sources: primary data and secondary data. Primary data were obtained through a process of field research and interviews with informants. Meanwhile, secondary data sources were obtained from scholarly books, academic theses, journal articles and official government documents. The findings of the study describe the methods used by drug smuggling syndicates to bring in drugs from the Golden Triangle of Thailand to Malaysia, as well as the factors that cause the entry of drugs from abroad.
Penyeludupan dadah merupakan ancaman yang dihadapi oleh semua negara termasuk Malaysia. Kewujudan Segi Tiga Emas Thailand pada awal 1950-an menyebabkan dadah dibawa masuk ke Malaysia oleh sindiket penyeludupan dadah. Kedudukan negara yang berhampiran dengan Segi Tiga Emas Thailand menyebabkan sindiket penyeludupan dadah menjadikan Malaysia sebagai hab transit bagi penyeludupan dan pengedaran dadah antarabangsa. Sindiket penyeludupan dadah sentiasa mencari jalan untuk membawa masuk dadah ke Malaysia dengan menggunakan pelbagai kaedah penyeludupan bagi mengaburi pasukan keselamatan yang menjaga sempadan negara. Keadaan ini berlaku kerana terdapat permintaan yang tinggi bagi bekalan dadah. Kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti kaedah penyeludupan dadah yang telah digunakan oleh sindiket penyeludupan dadah bagi membawa masuk dadah dari Segi Tiga Emas Thailand ke Malaysia. Kajian menggunakan kaedah kualitatif berdasarkan dua sumber data iaitu data primer dan data sekunder. Data primer diperoleh melalui proses kajian lapangan dan temu bual bersama informan. Manakala, sumber data sekunder diperoleh daripada buku ilmiah, tesis akademik, artikel jurnal dan dokumen rasmi kerajaan. Dapatan kajian telah menerangkan kaedah yang digunakan oleh sindiket penyeludupan dadah bagi membawa masuk dadah dari Segi Tiga Emas Thailand ke Malaysia serta faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan kemasukan dadah dari luar negara.
