IT is shocking to hear that the National Anti-Drug Agency recorded a total of 127,606 drug addicts between 2013 and 2015. According to race, the Malays make up the biggest number with 100,240 drug addicts (78.54%) from the total during the period.

The ugliest part is that out of this, 88,597 were new addicts, while 39,009 returned to their habit. This is called repeat offenders.
