So the king pin will be laughing - only the street vendor is caught and everyone says what a great job the excise and narcotics boys are doing. King pin will get another street vendor and everyone will live happily ever after. Drug Menace continues.

The nets used by SL anti-vice squads have always been too small to net-in the big-fish and sharks. These are well orchestrated drama of corrupt system.

What about the worst drugs being sold with the support of P-Members?? At least one year jail for those roaming free?

It's sad to see that there are so many people who want to fight for a drug dealer by popping a pill.
