Secondary 2s Anti-Narcotics Course

On 2nd June 2014, our Secondary 2 Cadets went for the Anti-Narcotics Course at the Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (SANA) Headquarter which is located above Seng Kang Community Hub. Cadets went through lectures about drug abuse and their harmful effects, as well as the penalties, how to prevent from being a victim and how to deliver the important message of being drugs-free to the others.

They also went through a role play, which tests them on their abilities as a transfer agent for distributing the message for 'Stopping Drug Abuse' and 'How To Say NO To Drugs'. Our Cadets have had lots of fun on the activities that the Officers and Instructors had planned for them and most importantly, our Cadets have all learnt a new skills that can be apply in their future!

A reflection by one of our participants:

LCpl (NPCC) Sherman Lee Jun Wei: Through this course, I've learnt more about the drug and inhalant abuse and it's many effect. I had also learnt the different 'nicknames' that was given to each different kind of drugs, and with this knowledge, I would be more aware and would not take the drug if someone were to offer me in the future. On top of that, I had also gained knowledge on the law that was created to punish the drug abuser and also the traffickers. besides having lectures, we also did a role play about drug abuse in front of the other schools. To my opinion, I feel that drug abusers are silly as taking drugs is just like playing for a short moment of 'highness' and the consequences are not one that is ready to accept -- Going to jail, Caning, Destroy future and Destroy health! Hence, I feel that those who knows about the messages on Anti-Narcotics should spread it to their family members, relatives and friends. Who knows you may save a life of a person anytime!
