Sarawak is establishing its own drug rehabilitation centre to address substance abuse through a state-specific approach, with the proposal set for cabinet approval.

Malaysia's anti-drug agency chief stressed that former rehabilitation clients need sustained support from communities and businesses to successfully reintegrate into society and reduce relapse risks.

Terengganu's anti-drug agency has achieved a 94% rehabilitation success rate among 6,000 drug dependants since 2010, employing community-based recovery approaches that allow individuals to maintain employment and studies.

Malaysia's National Anti-Drugs Agency has rejected claims of a mass escape from its Bangi rehabilitation centre, confirming instead that four inmates were recaptured in Perak after absconding from the facility.

A Kelantan man who began abusing drugs at age 11 has turned his life around after completing a professional rehabilitation coaching programme at Rumah Rakan Islah in Terengganu, now helping others recover from substance abuse.
