Law and institutional reform minister Azalina Othman Said says Putrajaya will consider treating offenders instead of punishing them.
Azalina Othman Said drug abuse is a health issue that impacts society in terms of socioeconomic and health perspectives.
Azalina, who chaired a discussion with representatives from various ministries and NGOs on the matter earlier today, said that such an approach is in line with international norms. Instead, Azalina said, it has led to other systemic issues such as overcrowding in prisons and an overburdened criminal justice system.
“The legal affairs division of the Prime Minister’s Department, together with relevant agencies, will conduct a legal study on punishments for drug-related offences from a different perspective.
