He said the government would study laws for offences related to drugs because some quarters claimed that the punishment imposed on offenders was too harsh.
" will study whether this allegation is true or not, and if we find there are other ways in law to combat drug abuse or trafficking, we will amend the laws, ” he told the press after launching the National Anti-Drugs Month here on Tuesday . "The trend of drug abuse has changed...from conventional plant-based drugs like ganja, morphine and heroin it has now moved to synthetic drugs that are more harmful.
The Prime Minister said based on Malaysia’s estimated population of 32.4 million, this meant that for every 100,000 people there were 404 abusers and addicts of drugs and prohibited substances in 2018. "Drug abuse has major implications to the country. This is because we will lose productive manpower required for building the country now and in the future,” he added.
