KAJANG, May 18 — The launch of Mobile Recovery Treatment Services for the National Anti Drug Agency Drug Addiction Treatment and Rehabilitation Programme may reduce prison congestion among drug users, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin said today.

He said the authorities have been accused of turning a blind eye toward crowded and humiliating conditions among inmates. "Cooperation between AADK and the Malaysian Prisons Department is also a problem-solving approach to overcome the problem of drug inmates who return to addiction. It is also to increase their compliance rate to attend the AADK Community Addiction Treatment and Rehabilitation Program after their release," he said.
