Kuala Lumpur: The police are probing the possibility of enforcement officers, including those from the Forestry Department, being in cahoots with human traffickers responsible for the mass graves discovered near the Malaysia-Thai border. Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the officers may not only be collaborating with locals but may also have international links in Thailand, Bangladesh and Myanmar."We suspect that some of them are in cahoots. We are also working with the Forestry Department, which is supposed to enforce the area, including the boundary between Malaysia and Thailand."But I would need to discuss the matter with the Minister concerned," he said, referring to the Natural Resources and Environment Minister.
