Creating A Safer Tomorrow: Anti-Drug Campaign at Jelalong and Lana Complex

On November 4, 2023, and January 11, 2024, the National Anti-Drug Campaign was jointly organized by the National Anti-Drug Agency and Glenealy Plantations at the Jelalong Complex and Lana Complex, respectively. The campaign aimed to address the critical issue of substance abuse within the palm oil industry. By targeting palm oil employees, contractors, and the local community, the campaign sought to create a comprehensive and inclusive approach to promoting a drug-free environment.
