MELAKA: The case study of a seven-year-old boy, allegedly the youngest former drug addict in Kedah, is the driving force for Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF) Kedah secretary s all-out campaign to eradicate drug abuse among juveniles in the state.

Wan Su was in Melaka to attend the MCPF s 27th AGM that was officiated by Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob at a hotel in Ayer Keroh on Saturday (Dec 19).
