Perak police chief Datuk Noor Hisam Nordin said the drugs were found in a Honda HRV after receiving a public complaint at about 1 am.
"The discovery of these two types of drugs is also among the biggest seizures made by the Perak police this year.
"From an inspection, the police found 80 transparent plastic packets suspected to be methamphetamine weighing 82.8 kg and 39 transparent packets of ketamine weighing 40.4 kg," he said at a press conference at the Perak police contingent headquarters (IPK), here, today.

He said the case would be investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
