KUALA LUMPUR: Cigarette smugglers should face harsher legal action in a bid to deter such activities, says JT International Bhd general manager Khoo Beng Lee.

She said that the government could use the Security Offences Act , Prevention of Crime Act and the Anti-Money Laundering Act to handle these offences.

"These organised crime syndicates constantly change their modus operandi to avoid detection so it is important that enforcement efforts follow suit,” said Khoo. Meanwhile, JTI Malaysia corporate affairs and communications director Saiful Bahari Mahpar said that the government of the Philippines proposed a Bill last year to declare cigarette smuggling as an act of economic sabotage.

Under the proposed law, cigarette smuggling carries stiffer and heftier penalties, including making the illicit trade non-bailable.
