COASTAL fishing communities as well as those living in Felda, Felcra and hardcore poor housing schemes will be targeted by anti-drug enforcement agencies. Deputy Home Minister Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said this was because those living in these areas were considered high risk. However, Nur Jazlan disagreed with Abdul Aziz’s suggestion to reclassify the drug problem as a health issue, as done in Europe and South America. “The West and the others have given up on the war against drugs and are taking the easy way out,” he said. He added that decriminalising ganja would not solve the drug ­problem.
