National Council Against Drug Abuse - NCADA

National Council Against Drug Abuse - NCADA NCADA is a citizenโ€™s advisory council on preventive drug measures and programmes in Singapore. Thank you for your support!

We seek to harness community support and complement the promotion of programmes and research to inform the public on the dangers of drug addiction. 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 sup

port 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 them in support of the governmentโ€™s efforts against drug abuse. While we welcome constructive feedback and civil discussions, postings which are offensive, irrelevant or breach Facebook's Terms of Use and Code of Conduct may be removed. Contact Information:

At the DrugFreeSG Forum on 18 April, community partners explored youth drug perceptions and ideas for new collaborations on ground-up initiatives and research, with SMS Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim joining us as Guest-of-Honour.โ€‹

๐Ÿค While more youths recognise the harms of drugs, many still lack guidance at home. Prevention begins with honest conversations, and it takes families, schools, and communities working together.โ€‹

Thank you, SMS Faishal, for your continued support of our mission. Together, we can build a drug-free Singapore.โ€‹

While Singapore remains committed to a drugโ€‘free society, youths face rising risks: global narratives normalising drug use, peer pressure, and easier access through digital networks. โ€‹

Drug abuse is a global scourge that destroys lives and families. While Singaporeโ€™s situation remains stable, exposure to pro-drug narratives and misinformation underscores the need for vigilance.โ€‹

Against this backdrop, the 2025 National Drug Perception Survey found youths who spoke with parents about drugs were overwhelmingly deterred - yet nearly 2 in 5 have not. These findings, read alongside CNBโ€™s latest statistics, highlight why NCADA is deepening efforts to equip parents with resources and workshops, and to create more spaces for research insights and community action.โ€‹
