Police call for harsher punishment for syabu-related offences


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 needs to be improved in line with current developments so that efforts by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) to eliminate drug abuse can be carried out more effectively.

Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (JSJN) director Datuk Razarudin Husain said the improvements that needed to be done included reducing the weight of drugs that can be charged under Section 39B of the law and also to charge those involved in drug trafficking under the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act (AMLA) 2001.
