Abuse and Alcoholism

Dear DAP Representative,

I am writing to you this email to seek help for many man and women in Malaysia who are involved in abuse caused by alcoholism. I have tried my best to find out information to help this category of people. What i noticed is that drug addition is noted to be a serious offence and has many legal and help channels we could turn to but no importants is given towards alcoholism. You would be suprised that Malaysia a small country is ranked 10th in the world http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/5/23/nation/8737875 . Also note there is currently only one society in Malaysia Alcoholics Anonymous Malaysia http://www.aamalaysia.org/ . This society is only for people who want to get better and have realized their problems as they have to go on their on free will. So this society will be of no help to those in denial and are currently abusing their families. But if it was a legal offens to be alcoholic and people could be charged similiar to drug addiction then it would be effective to reduce the number of alcoholics in Malaysia.


i would like to propose a bill to be passed to make it compulsary for any individual found to be alcoholic go to a rehab center. Also just like Pusat Serenti there should be more goverment centers that cater to alcoholics. Apart from this the responsibility to identify this alcoholics should not be left solely to spouses & children that are suffering in silence and too scared to do anything. The public or anybody with sufficient prove should be able to launch a complain and make it possible for these families to help this very sick alcoholics. Please note that this point is crutial as spouses and children are normally the victims if outside intervention does not happen.

I writing this email to your organization since this problem is very closely related to non-muslims and could be a very strong area that DAP could look into to fight for. I am rather sure that you would have 100% support from all Indian & Chinese man/women that put up with Alcoholism just to save face from this world. Apart from this the more elite educated Alcoholics would be fearful if there is a legal consequence of their in excuseable behavior. We could also tremendously reduce the accident in Malaysia if we could remove this alcoholics from the road before its too late. This point will also be well appreciated by all races alike.

I do hope that this letter will be given due importants as many families will continue to suffer until a proactive step is taken to ensure all potential dangers posed by alcoholism is put to an end.

Please feel free to contact me at this email address for anything pertaining to the matter above.


Thank you.

Sincerely ,
Sham
