Kids on Cheap Liquor

WHO Global Status Report on Alcohol Statistics estimated that 45% of youths under 18 consume alcohol regularly. This, combined with the increasing prevalence of students bringing alcohol to school, has raised fresh concerns over the prevalence of underage drinking in Malaysia. Though the issue has been raised at state and federal levels, there has since been little to no action taken by authorities. What can be done to overcome this social issue? BFM explores.

This is a report by Jason Lim and Sonia Naidu.
