MACHANG, Oct 17 — The trend of drug abuse among those under the age of 15 is increasingly concerning and requires more comprehensive preventive efforts, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
He said that based on the profiles of individuals involved in drug abuse, those aged between 15 and 39 formed the largest group.
He added that this development necessitates a preventive approach that also emphasises early education and the role of parents in curbing the involvement of youngsters in drug abuse.
“The National Anti-Drugs Agency (AADK) has three main functions, namely education and prevention, enforcement and rehabilitation, to address the issue of drug abuse.
