KUALA LUMPUR: Lawmakers have called on the government to place arrested drug users in dedicated rehabilitation centres far from prisons and high-risk environments, warning that current facilities allow continued access to narcotics and even drug pushers.
Datuk Seri Dr Ismail Abd Muttalib (PN-Maran) argued that Malaysia’s anti-drug campaign lacks comprehensiveness, and that rehabilitation would be more effective if drug users were removed from environments where drugs are readily available.
