About National Council Against Drug Abuse

The National Council Against Drug Abuse (NCADA) was formed in January 1995 as an advisory council to the Minister and the Ministry of Home Affairs on policies and measures necessary to curb drug abuse in Singapore and to mobilise and sustain public support for the anti-drug programmes undertaken by government departments and voluntary organisations. Together with the Home Team departments, relevant agencies and community partners, NCADA organises and coordinates anti-drug activities as well as assists other organisations, institutions, bodies and persons who are interested in tackling the drug problem. NCADA also aims to promote preventive drug education programmes to educate the public on the drug menace and rally support for the government’s efforts against drug abuse.

About the Clubs Against Drugs Campaign

This will be the 15th year in which NCADA has organised the Clubs Against Drugs Campaign (CAD). The CAD Campaign was first launched in 2000 by the National Council Against Drug Abuse to address the possible issue of drug abuse in night entertainment outlets. Over the years, NCADA has forged a partnership with club operators to promote the anti-drug message to club patrons and to raise awareness of the dangers of drugs and the harsh penalties that come along with drug abuse and trafficking. Participating club and restaurant operators are offered tailored anti-drug talks to equip them with the skills to identify drug abusers on their premises. This year, ground outreach activities will also be organised to reach out to the patrons of clubs, pubs and restaurants to remind them on the importance of partying in a drug-free environment. There will be a total of 4 nights of ground outreach activities.
