Keep it up: Dr Ahmad Zahid (centre) speaking to the recipients of the Integrity Award during the MCPF annual general meeting in Petaling Jaya.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia will flex its muscles against drug pushers, giving its enforcement teams full authority under the law to fight drug abuse, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.

He said the police would be firm like how the Philippines was acting tough but not to the extent of President Rodrigo Duterte’s controversial war on drugs.
