Police say the pilot, who was caught in Indonesia with more than 26kg of drugs, acted alone in bypassing security checks at airport.

From the original report

Bukit Aman narcotics crime investigation department director Hussein Omar Khan said preliminary investigations found that no “insiders” were involved in helping the suspect get through security checks at KLIA, reported Buletin TV3.

However, he said the method used by the pilot to evade airport security checks could not be disclosed to avoid compromising the police investigation.
