Focus on reducing demand for drugs to complement enforcement, says Lam Thye


PETALING JAYA: The authorities should focus on reducing the demand for drugs through preventive education to complement admirable enforcement operations, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

Congratulating the police on the recent RM144.9mil drug haul, the Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF) senior vice-chairman said cutting the demand will eventually cripple drug syndicates.
