Sabah needs proper alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities as the existing ones resemble prisons, which is not the best environment for addicts to focus on getting clean, according to a psychiatry specialist.
The home minister said the law, if proposed and passed in Parliament, would give priority to rehabilitation and treatment of drug addicts within a legal framework and would uphold efforts for a transformation of the prisons and detention centres.
I can stand to be attacked, but I draw the line at others inciting hate using racial and religious sentiments, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
