Selangor Bersatu chief Abdul Rashid Asari has confirmed a viral social media post claiming that a party assemblyperson has been detained for using illicit drugs.

His statement comes in the wake of Dengkil assemblyperson Adhif Syan Abdullah denying the viral post which named him as among those detained.

Abdul Rashid said the assemblyperson did not contact him on the matter and he had learned of the arrest from the Home Ministry.
