Anti-drug Strategy
The fight against drugs in Singapore involves a multifaceted approach based on the recommendations made by the Committee to Improve the Drug Situation in Singapore in November 1993. The committee chaired by then Parliamentary Secretary of Ministry of Home Affairs Ho Peng Kee came up with four key strategies ranging from prevention to rehabilitation that would integrate the work of different government agencies for greater efficacy and efficiency.
- Enforcement
- Preventive drug education
- Treatment and rehabilitation
- Aftercare and continued rehabilitation
Out of the four key pillars, CNB has contributed significant amount of resources on the first two strategies. The bureau conducts vigorous enforcement and is also the lead agency for preventive drug education.
