The National Narcotics Agency (BNN) presents evidence confiscated from a foiled drug smugglingattempt, consisting of 137 kilograms of crystal meth and 42,500 ecstasy pills at its Jakarta headquarters,Wednesday (27/9). The drugs were smuggled from Malaysia to Indonesia by sea through Ujung Curamwaters in East Aceh, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The efforts of drug dealers to create a new generation of addicts by targeting kindergarten and elementary school students are a threat to the demographic bonus expected in 2030. The distribution of drugs must be countered by adopting layered protection.

Drugs must be seen as a public enemy and not just the enemy of the government, the National Police and the National Narcotics Agency (BNN). Layered protection must be applied, starting from children, families, schools, communities, regional administrations and all parties so that there is no space for the drug dealer to approach children.
