1. How come the PM was not questioned for 250 Kg of heroin import connection!
2. If the OIC says he collected the stuff from raids why did he keep it at home?
3. It seems a loop hole is there for him to escape prosecution.

4. How come 180,000 in cash in a home?

Everyone who is someone - from the top VIPs to those who are tasked with law enforcement - have law breakers and getting involved in the most lucrative drug business. What a country and still some people have the audacity to call it the "Miracle of Asia" It surely is the Debacle of Asia.
