DRUG ADDICTS HEAD FOR FASTER 'HIGH'

SITIAWAN: Drug addicts are now resorting to injecting drugs into their
heads for faster effect, said Deputy Home Minister Datuk Zainal Abidin Zin.
The private parts are another area where addicts inject drugs to enable
them to escape undetected by the authorities, he added.

"These are two new methods of injecting themselves with drugs apart from
the conventional way of injecting the arm which the authorities have
discovered," he said in his speech when closing the anti-drug awareness
campaign at Felcra Lekir here yesterday.

Zainal Abidin, who is also National Anti-Drug Agency chairman, said
following the discoveries police had been directed to carry out full body
checks on all suspected drug addicts.
