Nur Jazlan said the ceremony, the fifth in Pengasih's 25-year history, was a hard-earned achievement. "AADK works closely with Pengasih and other agencies to maximise our effectiveness in the drug war despite the difficult financial situation.

"The government can't afford to house and rehabilitate all drug addicts in the country.
