KUALA LUMPUR: A motion to amend the Drug Dependants (Treatment and Rehabilitation) Act will be tabled by the government in the Dewan Rakyat soon.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said he hoped that the proposed amendments would change the game in the country's fight against drugs.
"The amendments will change the approach of rehabilitation for drug abusers.
"They will no longer be treated as addicts but instead viewed as patients who need help," he said when launching the Anti-Drug Science Symposium today.
