Budget Speech

Campaigning Against Drug Abuse

126.      In response to the Government's anti-drug policy, I have already allocated additional funding of $52 million in 2010-11 to support anti-drug efforts of the departments concerned. Furthermore, to encourage the community to join hands in combating drug abuse, I propose to inject $3 billion into the Beat Drugs Fund. The money, together with donations from different sectors, will yield a larger investment return to the Fund and enable it to increase its annual funding for the community to make an all-out effort in taking forward various anti-drug initiatives.
