KUALA LUMPUR, June 26, 2024 – The National Anti-Drugs Agency (NADA) organized the 2024 National Drug Addiction Science Symposium (SSPDK) and the Inauguration of the Anti-Drugs Day Commemoration at the Sunway Putra Hotel, Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.

The programme, themed ‘Empower Synergy, Strengthen Solidarity,’ sought to improve networking and cooperation between all relevant parties—government, business, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), stakeholders, and communities—in order to explore new initiatives that can improve services and to collectively combat drug addiction.
