Summary:The presentation briefly traces the major events that led to the evolution of the programs for prevention and control of the drug abuse, by the government and related agencies. Besides a few anecdotal references, intend to recall the numerous decisions and recommendations arrived at some of the conferences, symposia and workshops held at the national and regional levels these have had some bearing on the policy issues. While in service of the Ministry of Health, Malaysia, as a senior consultant psychiatrist and later as a member of the Malaysia, we had the opportunity to represent these bodies and actively participate in most of the deliberations. Also the most important event which contributed to the determined and coordinated efforts to implement by the entire department to prevent such as "National Anti-Narcotics Action Plan" for "Prevention Of Drug Abuse" and responsible to the National Security Council in 1986. It is can be safety the treatment and rehabilitation programs in Kelantan is well recognized all over for its success. However, all that needs to be done is not to abandon the laudable philosophy which initiated the action but also reinforce the strength and remedy the weakness, in particular in the areas of education to promote positive awareness and improve to reduce relapses.
