(1/2) “If you come here in the morning, you’ll see the ‘mat pets’ – junkies. They’re the ones who do drugs and cause problems. This place here, Lembah Pantai, – this is the very hotspot for drugs!
Pantai Dalam is known for its drug use. Just ask around. Kampung Medan, Kampung Kerinchi and Pantai Dalam are the 3 places with the most problems.
Go and ask whichever police stations and ask which area has the most drug use – its this place! There’s no point capturing the drug users, after a few days they are just let go. You should catch the drug distributors, because it’s all about money. Since there are lots of bribery, there will be lots of drugs too.”

(1/2) “Hidup dalam kawasan PPR (Program Perumahan Rakyat) ni agak tak sesuai untuk membesarkan anak-anak. Banyak sangat masalah dadah di sini. Kalau datang awal pagi, kamu boleh tengok ‘mat pet’ – penagih dadah. Orang-orang yang ketagih dengan dadah inilah yang bawa masalah. Inilah tempatnya, Lembah Pantai, – tempat tumpuan untuk dadah!
Pantai Dalam memang terkenal dengan kes dadah. Tanyalah siapa-siapa di sini. Kampung Medan, Kampung Kerinchi dan Pantai Dalam, 3 kawasan yang sangat bermasalah.
Pergilah mana-mana balai polis dan tanya tempat paling banyak dengan masalah dadah – inilah tempatnya! Tak guna pun tangkap penagih-penagih ni, lepas 2-3 hari dibebaskannya. Yang patut kena tangkap orang yang jual dadah tu, tapi ini semua sebab duit. Oleh sebab banyak sangat rasuah, maka makin bertambah jugaklah masalah dadah ni.”
