Malaysian Rehabilitation Organisation Collaborates with Oman in Special Programme for Addicts
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 8 (Bernama) -- The drug rehabilitation organisation,
Pengasih Malaysia (Pengasih), has spread its rehabilitation and treatment for
addicts, in collaboration with Oman and Middle-East countries.
Its president, Mohd Yunus Pathi, said the organisation had forged
cooperation with Oman last year, and its government sent its officers for
training here to adopt Pengasih rehabilitation models there.
The officers were trained for between three and six months, he told
reporters at Pengasih's Aidilfitri open house here Saturday.
He said the organisation had been training participants from various
countries, including Indonesia, Maldives, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Iran, Sri Lanka, Afrika Selatan, Jepun, Korea and several European
countries.
Mohd Yunus said, Pengasih had worked together with international and
domestic agencies, including the National Anti-Drug Agency, health ministry,
Colombo Plan (Drug Advisory Programme), United Nations Office on Drugs and
Crime, World Federation of Therapeutic Communities, Japan International
Cooperation Agency and foreign anti-narcotics agencies.
Since Pengasih was formed 22 years ago, it has rehabilitated 5,425 addicts.
