Noh: Govt Intensifies Anti-drug Drive Via Bills, Scoreboards

BERNAMA: "PENANG, Aug 21 (Bernama) -- The Government will soon launch a new approach in its anti-drug campaign through utility bills, bank statements and stadium scoreboards.
Deputy Minister of Internal Security Datuk Noh Omar said he had discussed the plan with several companies, including Celcom, Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas) and Pos Malaysia Bhd and they have agreed to the idea.
Beginning October, he said, the utility companies would print the anti-drug messages in their bills sent to consumers, he said, hoping that it would have a positive impact on the public to combat the drug scourge.
Technical aspects of the campaign would be discussed with the companies next month, he told reporters at TV3's Sure Heboh carnival here Sunday.
He said the ministry would also ask stadium managements nationwide to show video clips on the drug menace during soccer matches.
'A five-minute video clip will be screened on the scoreboard at half-time,' he added."
