BANDAR BARU: The National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) has introduced a new treatment and rehabilitation module which emphasises a holistic, client-friendly and evidence-based approach. Its director-general, Datuk Ruslin Jusoh, said the new module is the agency's effort to strengthen the country's drug addiction or abuse treatment and rehabilitation system in line with current needs. The launch of this new module is a significant step for ensuring that treatment and rehabilitation methods and approaches remain relevant to current changes, particularly those involving drug addiction issues, Bernama reported.

'Through this module, the phased recovery strategy that emphasises self-empowerment, community support, employment, skills, and reintegration into society has also been updated as a guide for AADK recovery officers to carry out their duties professionally and consistently,' he added.

PM ensures Port Dickson family receives aid
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called for immediate assistance to be provided to a family in Kampung Baru Si Rusa, Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan, who are facing hardship after the head of the household suffered a stroke. Anwar, who visited Faridah Abbas' family with his wife, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, said the family is fully dependent on Faridah after her husband, Mohamad Ali Abdul Malek, became bedridden in 2024. "Azizah and I are deeply affected by the ordeal faced by this family. I have instructed the Implementation Coordination Unit, Prime Minister's Department to provide the necessary facilities to help Faridah and her family continue their lives," he said in a Facebook post on Sunday (July 20). He said the assistance to be channelled includes a business kiosk to be provided for Faridah to earn an income by selling local delicacies and banana fritters, as well as levelling the front portion of the family house. "Hopefully, this kindness and assistance will ease the suffering of Faridah as she has to take care of her bedridden husband and her children," he said. Anwar is in Negri Sembilan for the Madani Government Leadership Ukhuwah Programme in conjunction with the retreat for administration members and Members of Parliament. The programme involves the participation of the Madani government administration members as part of efforts to build a network of brotherhood between leaders and the people in a relaxed, inclusive setting filled with values of togetherness. – Bernama
