The Sultan of Pahang wants Malaysia to beef up security at all border crossings. He says drug dealers are sneaking their poison into the country through airports, seaports and land checkpoints. The royal ruler met with female journalists and told them about his concerns over the drug crisis. He stressed that authorities must watch these entry points around the clock. The Sultan believes stronger border controls will stop the flow of illegal drugs.
Smugglers have started using fishing boats to bring drugs into Malaysia through coastal waters. The Sultan pointed out that east coast states like Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang face serious threats from sea-based trafficking. Officials need better coordination to catch these water-based criminals. The royal leader wants more surveillance boats patrolling the coastline. He says the fishing boat method has become a major problem for law enforcement.
Drug addiction has hit Pahang hard with nearly 12,000 active users living there. The Sultan expressed alarm over these shocking numbers from government drug agencies. He wants tougher enforcement of existing laws to make a real difference. The royal ruler believes current efforts are not strong enough to solve the crisis. Young people especially need protection from these dangerous substances.
The Sultan backs a complete ban on electronic cigarettes across Malaysia. He says vaping hurts young people and damages their future health. Pahang has already started working on local laws to prohibit these devices. The state will pass the ban through its legislative assembly before local councils enforce it. The royal leader wants zero tolerance for vaping products.
