The anti-drugs student group 'A-Team' from Sekolah Menengah PJN Pg Haji Abu Bakar in Kg Pandan Kuala Belait has continued their mission to spread anti-drugs awareness by conducting activities at Sekolah Tunas Jaya PGGMB in Kuala Belait.

The A-Team group of five student members from Year Nine visited Year One students of the school to educate the children about the danger of drugs.

For the anti-drugs activity, the A-Team decorated the Year One classroom with balloons and props to deliver a drama performance and to give knowledge and consequences of drug ause and trafficking.

In the drama, the A-Team gave a strong message for young students not to talk to strangers, follow and receive any suspicious gifts from strangers.

In addition, A-Team taught the students about different types of drugs such as marijuana, heroin, ecstasy and methylamphetamine or syabu and conduct a game where A-Team gave image illustrations and students had to identify whether the pictures are vegetables, fruits or drugs.

Later the A-Team distributed anti-drugs and anti-smoking leaflets and also gave away 20 copies of storybooks published by the anti-drugs group. The young students also received bookmarks with anti-drugs message to remember the repercussions of drugs and goodie bags with foods and drinks.

Accompanying the A-Team group were school counsellors, Cikgu Dk Zunainah binte Pg Haji Aliuddin and Cikgu Hasbul Wafi Fakri bin Abdullah @ Bundan who assisted in organising activities and programmes to raise drug awareness in the school.
