In a press conference, Rafizi said, “Both of us do not smoke cannabis, so it is a waste and the packages have already been sent to the police.” He said this at the Dewan Rakyat today after being asked to comment about the incident.

This comes after a package suspected of containing cannabis leaves extract was sent to Rafizi and Anwar. The package was seized in Pulau Meranti.
