It was heartening to see the overwhelming response to the recent "Professional Talk Program: National Level Anti Drug Abuse Campaign 2021" which was jointly organized by the Malaysian Drug Prevention Association Sarawak (PEMADAM Sarawak) together with its branch in Kanowit and Kanowit District Education Office.
The online program started on July 31 and ended on August 1 where 8,500 people took part on the first day and 6,500 of them took part on the second day. The response to the two-day program had shown the keen interest and support of the community, including the youths from Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia towards this anti-drugs initiative.
This program is one of the initiatives undertaken by PEMADAM Sarawak in its continuous efforts to provide anti-drugs awareness to the communities in Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia especially on the dangers of substance abuse that can destroy the future generations to come. The program is also aimed to help the youths to be aware of the drugs and substance abuse issues that must be avoided so as not to get caught in the menace which had affected people from other countries as well.
We congratulate the organizers led by Sarawak State Education Director, Dr Norisah binti Suhaili who is also chief of PEMADAM Sarawak’s Education Bureau, for the success in organizing the program. Big thanks to our guest speakers who had delivered talks in this program who include Associate Professor Dr. Puteri Hayati Megat Ahmad, a member of the Malaysian Board of Counselors; Associate Professor Dr. Mohd. Nazri bin Mohd. Daud from the Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaysia Sabah; Mr. Indra Sotarduga Simorangkir, from the National Narcotics Agency of West Java Province, Indonesia and Dr. Hari Nugroho from the Rehabilitation Center of the Indonesian National Narcotics Agency.
