PETALING JAYA: The broader enforcement powers under the amended Poisons Act (Act 366) will enable effective enforcement against offences related to the misuse of poisons and psychotropic substances, say two ministries.
The Health and Home ministries said under the amendment, which was passed in the Dewan Rakyat on Monday, all police officers, regardless of rank, and those appointed by the Health Ministry would be given enforcement powers to handle poisons, including drugs and psychotropic substances.
