KUALA LUMPUR: Many youths are taking drugs out of curiosity or under peer influence, with a significant number obtaining substances themselves, according to a recent government study on youth behaviour.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the comprehensive study, conducted by the Youth and Sports Ministry through the Malaysian Youth Research and Development Institute (IYRES) in collaboration with the National Anti-Drugs Agency (AADK), focused on youths aged 15 to 30 in high-risk areas.
