Shanmugam was speaking at a workplan seminar for Central Narcotics Bureau officers at the Home Team Academy.

How do we go easy on Malaysians in the face of these stats?” he said.

“We pick up so many Malaysians at the borders. It will be good if they can share with us how many they pick up. I assume their border control is as good, they have strict laws on drugs. I assume they have as much of a will and intention to enforce them as we do," he said.
