Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 2: Derrick Goh on youth drug abusers
While the drug situation in Singapore remains largely under control, the proportion of new youth abusers is "concerning", said MP Derrick Goh. Speaking in Parliament on Thursday (Mar 3), he raised concerns on the rise of new psychoactive drugs which are difficult to detect, regulate and enforce. He pointed out that drug transactions have shifted to the digital space through online e-commerce services and encrypted messaging apps. He asked the Government if there are plans to implement new measures to tackle these trends. He also asked how the Government plans to identify and help youths who are at risk.
