U Min Kyaw Win, a retired school teacher from the Basic Education High School, in Ka Mar Wet, said, “the future of young people is gone due to the use of these drugs. They become addicted and their nationality can even disappear. We do need to make more arrests -but the big dealers too should be arrested. We also have to provide some [drug awareness] training after the schools are reopened. Our writers group plans to do this too.”
