Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 2: Christopher de Souza on tackling emerging drug issues
There is a "distressingly liberal attitude" among youths towards drugs and other substances. While part of the battle is to "keep pace" and cut off the source of drugs, how will the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) "nip the problem in the bud"? MP Christopher de Souza, who raised this question in Parliament on Thursday (Mar 3), asked if greater legislative flexibility would be granted to MHA to tackle emerging psychoactive substances before they get to Singapore. He also wanted to know how MHA plans to use social media to spread the word on the importance of a drug-free Singapore.
