Sarawak,Malaysia:Monday.
Maybe this is just another alternative to glue sniffing. First,diesel vapour sniffing, cow poop sniffing and now it came to chicken dropping sniffing.
The Director of Sarawak National Anti-drug Agency, mr Jasni Jubli, told the press about the report. The report was based on an allegation by one of the state’s Deputy Minister which stated that some glue sniffing addicts in this state resorted to sniffing chicken droppings when there is no glue around.
Mr Jasni, the anti-Drug agency Director of Sarawak, told bernama.com that a scientific study must first be done to verify the news.
"Our agency must first verify the correlation between sniffing chicken dropping and getting high. If there is a correlation after the study, only then will we think out the preventive measure," he added further.
Mr Jasni also revealed that there are cases of some students skipping classes and partying in the bushes with illegal local liquour. He attributed such activities to the lackadaisical attitude of some parents, thus not bothering to check their kid’s school bags.
A check done at one of the rural villages here revealed that this local liquor are not sold in bottles. They are packed into small plastic packets which can be sold for as low as RM1.00 each. At thisi pirice any primary school kids can get high for almost everyday. By the time this aberrant behaviour is detected it is always too late.
Mr Jasni also called on parents to be a bit more inquisitive and started talking to their kids. This is the only way forward, he said.
