The student was identified by Negeri Sembilan police chief Alzafny Ahmad after a video circulated on social media platforms showing the teenager allegedly appearing dazed, reportedly following vaping. Subsequent drug tests revealed the presence of three different drug types in the student's system.
The incident has drawn attention to drug use among teenagers in Malaysia, particularly the use of vaping devices as a method of substance consumption. The viral video prompted authorities to investigate and take action against the student.
Police have not disclosed further details regarding the specific substances detected or the circumstances surrounding the video's recording. The case highlights growing concerns about drug accessibility and experimentation among school-aged youths in the country.
The development comes as Malaysian authorities continue efforts to combat drug abuse, particularly among younger demographics who may be vulnerable to peer pressure and emerging consumption methods.
