Cops uncover drug den

DUNGUN: Police, acting on a tip-off about a “dangerous kidnapper” at a house in Taman Mutiara, found 12 youths high on drugs instead.

The 20-year-old alleged kidnapper was among those arrested in the raid yesterday.

Others included nine college students. Police believe they have a new lead on the operations of a pusher supplying drugs to college students.

OCPD Supt Dahlan Mohd Noor said the raid was conducted after police received information that a kidnapper was living in the house.

He said the nine students were pursuing their diploma in mechanical engineering at a nearby institute.

“We never expected to catch the students. Recently, we embarked on a campaign to remind students not to take drugs but it seems to have been unsuccessful,” he added.

12 YOUTHS HIGH ON DRUGS!!!! This news troubled my heart so much. Nine out of 12 are college students. What are the teacher doing in colleges? It make me ponder a bit what has becoming with our education nowaday? What about caring for the youths? What about seeing and followup what happening to their students?

Forgive me for falling into the hand of "pointing finger" to others but I tend to ponder that if our education would be better, the youths that we are nurturing would choose better choices in life. Why does our education only stop at academic? It should go beyond academic!

I felt so burden for these group of youths who never knew what a beauty in life that awaiting for them ? Instead of wasting away their life, I hope they can see that God want them to live and have life to the abundant!! God loves them and they too deserved to live a good life. But to have a good life, we need to start making right decisions.
