BE UNITED IN FIGHT AGAINST ECSTASY SCOURGE

I REFER to the letter, "Rally behind valiant stand of MCA leaders'' (The
Star, Aug 7), by Datuk Seri Yuen Yuet Leng, highlighting the menace of the
Ecstasy pill.

I could not agree more with his urgent call to all of us to fight this
scourge which is getting its stranglehold on the youths of our nation.

Fight we must with all the resources at our disposal as all is not lost.

There should be no room for complacency in our relentless war against
drugs, traffickers, and unscrupulous dealers of human degradation and
financial ruin.

The addiction is getting almost out of control.

To fight this battle, it would take time, finance, relentless effort , and
greater and continual emphasis of the grave calamity that has descended
upon us.

Alas, it is the heavy price we have been and are still paying for progress
in the field of knowledge and information technology in this ever wicked
and mad world.

Let us stand united always, for in unity we stand firm and strong. If we
become disunited and divided we shall fall.

Malaysia tetap hidup selamanya.

B.C. LIM of Ampang.
