PUTRAJAYA, 8 July 2022 – The National Anti-Drugs Agency (NADA) paid a courtesy call on the Director General of the National Youth and Sports Department, Tuan Mohd Azhari Mohammad and a delegation at the Ministry of Youth and Sports Malaysia Tower here recently.

In the course of the one-hour meeting, NADA under the direction of Dato’ Dr. Muhamad Sade Mohamad Amin, NADA Deputy Director General (Operations), covered a number of topics to fortify the two sides’ current strategic partnership.

Several topics were covered, including fresh tactics and initiatives for helping young people who are struggling with drug abuse.

Additionally, NADA’s preventative initiatives are being introduced, and they specifically target young people and include volunteers.
