However, the Malaysia Border Security Agency (AKSEM) which has been established since 2017 has effectively dried up the substantial supply of marijuana from Indonesia and Thailand. Malaysia and Thailand narcotics police department have been working together to bring down the drug smugglers causing them to unable to supply marijuana to the drug addicts.
