"We cannot give further statements as the case is still under investigation.”
Australian news portal Herald Sun had reported that the suspect is a 33-year-old man.
He caught the attention of Australian authorities after arriving from Kuala Lumpur as he was seen behaving suspiciously, said the report, adding that 3.5kg of heroin was found on him.
Officers searched the man and allegedly found 10 suspicious packets wrapped in masking tape.
The suspect is reportedly due to appear in court on Aug 6.
