He said Malaysia strictly adheres to the rule of law in development and implementation of drug policies and thus the revised National Drug Policy adopted in 2017 was a comprehensive, integrated and balanced policy that incorporated all areas of supply and demand reduction approaches through five main strategies namely Prevention Education, Treatment and Rehabilitation, Law Enforcement, Harm Reduction and International Cooperation.
