DRUG SITUATION
Drug abuse is a complex issue that affects all communities. Malays, however, are significantly over-represented in the abuse of drugs.

In 2017, Malays formed 52% of drug abusers arrested. This has increased compared to 10 years ago when the proportion of Malay drug abusers was 47%. Similarly, the proportion of new Malay drug abusers has increased from 36% in 2007 to 50% in 2017.
