00:00KDN seems to take the use of drugs seriously and has taken various preventive measures,
00:08recovery and increased efforts by authorities to curb the use of drugs.
00:13For your information, the number of cases of drug use by PDRM from January to August 2024
00:22for Kedah is 17,278.
00:27An increase of 17.3% compared to the total number of arrests in 2023, which is 14,284 people.
00:39The number of arrests for Pendang area until August 2024 is a total of 1,166 people.
00:48The number of clients who underwent treatment and recovery in institutions and communities in Kedah
00:55under the auspices of the Indonesian Anti-Drug Agency, ADK, from January to September 2024 is a total of 5,960 people.
01:04Meanwhile, in Pendang area, a total of 462 people underwent treatment and recovery in the community.
01:15One of the causes of the drug problem in Pendang is due to the change in the trend
01:22from organic drugs to synthetic drugs.
01:26This is very challenging.
01:29If we look at the statistics showing the use of this type of ADS,
01:34it is a total of 115,410 people, which is 70.4% compared to the total number of cases.
01:44Until September 2024, the use of drugs was reduced to only about 4%, which is a total of 6,750 people.
01:56In terms of treatment and recovery programs in Kedah and run by ADK,
02:00through 30 drug recovery centers in Puspan, 109 ADK centers in Kedah,
02:08we have 43 service centers in Surabaya,
02:11Puspan with a maximum capacity of 10,000 beds,
02:16manages treatment and recovery programs in institutions.
02:20With the number of ADK clients in Puspan, it is a total of 5,790 clients.
02:27Meanwhile, ADK in the area is tasked with managing treatment and recovery programs in the community.
02:34This is with a community of a total of 51,984 clients.
02:41ADK and the government, especially the Ministry of State,
02:45are always trying to improve the efforts by improving the skills of the employees,
02:51improving our technology and expertise.
02:54However, the efforts to continue the treatment of drugs by DRM and ADK
02:59will not reduce the drug use in this country.
03:04Therefore, of course, we hope that the local communities
03:08will work together to deal with this very challenging issue.
03:12And we hope that our target in 2025 to reduce the drug use can be achieved.
03:19And we hope that all parties will work together.
