Malaysia’s deputy police chief, Tan Sri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, has called for an immediate ban on electronic cigarettes following the detection of a new synthetic drug called 'Piu Piu' being mixed into vape liquids. The drug, a mixture of fentanyl and psychoactive chemicals, can cause severe intoxication and leave users in a zombie-like state. The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) views the device as having deviated from its original purpose and being widely abused by drug trafficking syndicates. While the police do not have the absolute authority to ban the devices directly, they will continue monitoring and conducting large-scale operations at vape retail outlets to curb the spread of the drug.
