LING: MCA COMMITTED TO WAR AGAINST ECSTASY

JOHOR BARU: The MCA is committed to wiping out the Ecstasy pill and
slot machine problem, Datuk Seri Dr Ling Liong Sik said. The party
president said the future of Malaysia's youth was at stake and the
problem would be difficult to contain if nothing was done now.

"Let's work together to ensure the success of MCA's anti-Ecstasy pill
and anti-illegal slot machine campaigns.

"The MCA cannot run away from the responsibility of wiping out the
Ecstasy and slot machine menace from our society,'' he said at the
Southern College cultural night on Saturday.

Among those who attended were leaders of Johor Chinese associations and
business organisations.

Dr Ling, who is Transport Minister, praised the organisers of the
event, saying it was no small feat to put up a cultural show.

"Let's all work to keep the cultural freedom we enjoy in Malaysia alive
for generations to come,'' he said.
