STUDENTS JOIN WAR AGAINST ECSTASY
PETALING JAYA: Over 500 students from five colleges in Subang Jaya have voluntarily come forward to do their part in the war against the Ecstasy menace.
The students, from Metropolitan, Taylor's, Inti, Sunway and Prime Colleges will be distributing stickers that say: Yucks to Drugs to all households in Subang Jaya and USJ beginning today under a Student Volunteer Programme initiated by the Asian Youth Ambassadors (Aya).
It was officially launched by Subang Jaya assemblyman Datuk Lee Hwa Beng at Summit USJ Shopping Centre on Sunday.
"By involving youths in spreading the message, the result will be more pertinent as they will realise for themselves the negative impact of Ecstasy," said Lee.
One member of the Aya group was Kopitiam actor Douglas Lim.
Lim, 23, said taking Ecstasy was a big risk, adding that the campaign by the student volunteers was timely.
"Many groups have come up with their own campaigns as well but sustaining it is a problem. As for us, we have a good leader and that will make a difference," said Lim.
