Abstract
The Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (NCID) of the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) is
responsible for combating drug-related issues in Malaysia. Despite numerous eradication initiatives, Malaysia's drug problem continues to worsen. This study aims to investigate the challenges faced in Malaysia's efforts to eradicate drugs issues in Malaysia via the experience of Royal Malaysia Police Anti Narcotic Personnel. This study investigated the challenges faced in Malaysia's efforts to eradicate drugs by gathering primary data through interviews and secondary data from literature research. The primary data was collected using qualitative methodology through interviews with personnel from the NCID Selangor and Police Contingent Headquarters, Bukit Aman. The study objective is to analyze the drug situation in Malaysia from the NCID's perspective. The findings indicated that Malaysia's drug situation had become a security threat, influenced by legal and legislative factors, drug possession, smuggling, and distribution. However, all respondents agreed that the NCID was committed to its mission and had demonstrated success in several instances. Respondents discussed internal factors, such as the quality of human resources, integrity, and infrastructure and logistics growth, which posed barriers to drug combating efforts in Malaysia based on their personal experiences. External factors included geographic challenges, virtual threats, the presence of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS), modus operandi, drug mules, and legal issues. The study concludes
that the NCID remains crucial in combating drugs, but with the collaboration of all stakeholders, the highlighted concerns can be addressed, and prompt actions can be taken towards comprehensive eradication.
