Drug dependants amendments to regulate rehab centres: Saifuddin

PARLIAMENT | The Drug Dependants (Treatment and Rehabilitation) (Amendment) Bill 2024 passed by the Dewan Rakyat today will help the government better regulate and improve the management and operation of private drug rehabilitation centres.

Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, when winding up the debate on the bill, said this was necessary because the Drug Dependants (Treatment and Rehabilitation) Act 1983 currently does not require rehabilitation centres to register themselves.
