PETALING JAYA: Police are keeping a watchful eye out for so-called "music festivals" after uncovering that some are used as a guise for gatherings involving drugs. "They promote their events through WhatsApp, Facebook, WeChat and other similar platforms and brand it as music gatherings when they are actually drug and liquor fests," he said. Comm Mazlan warned organisers that police are constantly on the look out for such gatherings and will not hesitate to take action. He said those caught attending such events could face charges under the Dangerous Drugs (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985 as well as the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. "Those found abusing drugs can be charged under Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act and be imprisoned for up to two years or fined up to RM5,000," he said.
