PUTRAJAYA: The government has set six major focuses as the new thrust to combat drug abuse in 2026, following the latest data showing that drug seizures have jumped more than eightfold and the threat from syndicates is becoming more complex, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also the chairman of the Cabinet Committee on Combating Drug Abuse, said this includes the study and reformulation of the National Drug Policy, a national anti-drug communication campaign, strengthening community prevention, stigma-free treatment, the use of digital technology and the empowerment of anti-drug personnel.
