PETALING JAYA: Malaysia will not change its control status of cannabis and cannabis resin, as the substances are still considered harmful to society, says Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Muhyiddin said although the 63rd United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs in Austria recently had decided to drop the two substances from Schedule IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs 1961 (1961 Convention), it does not change Malaysia’s control status of the two drugs.
