You have posed a very good question. I believe that the reason why MHA has opted to deal with the problem at the root and not when the crimes take place is because IT’S BETTER loh. Crime prevention is always a better policy.

Wait till some family of yours gets robbed by a drug addict and hurt in the process and you tell me that our criminal laws are sufficient. If you got better ideas on how to handle pre-empt violent domestic disputes, I believe that MHA be keen to hear your ideas.

Your question on the rich drug abuser is a good one. Remember the rich high-society cocaine snorter dude? Why did the CNB go after him even though he probably didn’t need to turn to crime to support his habit? Equality before the law.

Since we have a taken a stand of zero-tolerance for drugs, then it must be that regardless of whether a drug abuser is rich or poor, he must be treated equally.
