PUTRAJAYA, Aug 18 — National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail revealed today that the agency's drone fleet has identified 23,317 suspected drug users. The drones enable AADK to monitor drug hotspots 24/7, including conducting nighttime flights. Saifuddin explained that once the drone data reaches the operations room, it guides enforcement actions, leading to the detainment of numerous suspects.
The deployment of these drones is part of AADK's strategic plan for 2026-2030, which will guide the agency's prevention, enforcement, treatment, and rehabilitation efforts. AADK has also identified drug hotspots where drug abuse signs have been detected, allowing targeted surveillance.
