The views on this matter are overly simplistic.
Each man has the right to self-destruct.
However, the crux of the problem with drug abuse is not only about the individual. It affects the people around them, the family members and the society at large.
Oftentimes the family members will not know that a person is abusing drugs, as in the case of Adrian Yeo. Drugs can cause irrepairable damage to the body and if these addicts become vegetables, they will become a burden to their families and to the State.
Some addicts will also turn to crime to support their drug habits. That’s MHA’s problem too, which is why they are reacting.
The answer by S C Huang:
Your White Horse comment is valid.
All of us (who had some dealings with this issue) remember the W.H. stamp on the documents folders. Ha ha.
I must have been sleeping ( cos I really don’t recall being told) when they briefed us that the stamp was there to ensure that we ignore it! ha ha
It is just like asking one not to picture a “pink elephant” in your mind!
Another incident: One PAP candidate ( minister I think) was found inside the polling area during one GE. There was a valid complaint against him ( he could have been disQ!). The AG ( ? or some legal eagle) concluded that altho the law does not allow candidates to be nearer than ? metres from the said location, it does not explicit state that he cannot be “in” it!!! ha ha ha! Who says they cannot think out of the box? Really creative.
