PETALING JAYA: The revelation by the National Anti-Drugs Agency (AADK) on high drug use among secondary students is alarming, said The Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF). said the Education Ministry should re-evaluate drug prevention programmes in schools with the cooperation of AADK, MCPF and other NGOs. He was commenting on AADK director-general Datuk Seri Zulkifli Abdullah’s statement that 1,709 secondary school students tested positive for drugs following tests conducted at 178 high risk areas. The authorities and schools should focus more on curbing abuse of synthetic drugs, he added. “The number of synthetic drugs in the country have increased and the syndicates have also become more creative in catering to their customers, including students.
