The government says it will
step up anti-drug publicity
targeted at the family. The
move comes after an official
survey revealed that over 60
percent of drug-taking
students abuse substances
either at their own homes, or
those of their friends. The
Undersecretary for Security,
Lai Tung Kwok, said parents
would be encouraged to be on
the lookout for what he called
'hidden' drug abuse. He also
said more funds would be given
to non-government
organisations to help address
the problem. But Democratic Party legislator James To said that such an urgent issue demanded the injection of more community resources immediately.
