About Drug Abuse In Singapore
Drug abuse is a serious issue in Singapore, with methamphetamines, heroin, and cannabis being the most commonly abused substances.
The government enforces strict laws, including harsh penalties for trafficking and possession. In addition to legal measures, Singapore focuses on prevention through public education and offers rehabilitation services like the National Addiction Management Service (NAMS) to help individuals recover and reintegrate into society. Despite these efforts, drug abuse remains a challenge, particularly among younger individuals, requiring continued vigilance and intervention.
