Combating drugs should be a concerted effort

One voice: Akhbar and Lee both agree that for the country to achieve a drug-free society, responsibility should fall on all to combat the drug menace.

KUALA LUMPUR: Ongoing efforts in the war against drugs are needed by way of focusing on a comprehensive and balanced approach through preventive education, law enforcement and strategic cooperation with various groups, said criminology expert Datuk Seri Akhbar Satar.

This comes as the authorities demolished 19 drug processing laboratories between January and November this year, and seized various types of drugs estimated to be worth RM272.9mil.
