President’s MessageBattling Drug Abuse for 36 years and Beyond

The Seventies in Singapore was marked as a time when

drug abuse was a serious and urgent problem. It was

heartbreaking to witness the youths damaging their health

with drugs, and becoming addicted to them. I was a

police offi cer then and later seconded to Central Narcotics

Bureau, an enforcement arm set up by the government to

handle the drug abuse situation. At that period, the Ministry

of Home Affairs felt that it needed an agency to garner

public support and handle public response. That is how the

concept of Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (SANA)

came about.

1972 was thus a special year for me. SANA was formed as a ‘public forum’ for concerned Singaporeans, and for me, it is also the beginning of a long and steady relationship with this organization. Dr. Ee Peng Liang (1913 – 1994) was SANA’s pro-tem President, and he is best known for his lifelong dedication to charitable causes. Dr Tow Siang Hwa, Dr Baey Lian Peck and Dr Loo Choon Yong were the next few presidents to head SANA. Finally I took over the helm in 2006. At that time, I was already very familiar with SANA, because as the Director of CNB (1981 – 1991) and Director of Singapore Prison Service (1992 – 1998), I have been working closely with SANA. Through the years, SANA had played a very important role in this nation, and our mission is one that is made more meaningful with the active participation of the community.

SANA and the Public Consciousness It has been diffi cult for the public to fully comprehend how serious a problem drug abuse is today since it does not seem to be a burning issue at this point of time. However, if we look at the history of drug abuse in Singapore throughout the years, all of us will realise that it is dangerous to let our guard down.

In the 70s, there was a very popular drug called Mx (Methaqualone) a mild hypnotic drug that made one drowsy and dazed. The community was very concerned. A lot

of students were taking this drug. During school holidays, the situation worsened terribly, making this problem a highly visible one. It was unfortunate that the tablets were even sold cheaply at sharabat stalls, which were neighbourhood drink and snack stalls. The sixties saw Dr. Timothy Leary advocating LSD experimentation in his books. The ‘Hippie’ culture became prevalent among the youth. The drugs common in Singapore then were Marijuana and Mx, with heroin coming into the picture soon after that. From 1973 to 1975, the fi gures for drug addiction to heroin increased about 200 times!

During that period, SANA was actively raising public awareness on drug abuse, so that we can mobilize the community to our cause. Every week without fail, we were organizing talks, forums and exhibitions, with the media giving full assistance. The public were encouraged to be alert to signs of drug abuse and addiction.

The Return of Inhalant AbuseBack in the late 80s, inhalant abuse started to become a problem. They are dangerous substances, capable of causing irreversible brain damage. I remember this father who brought his 12-year-old son to us, and the boy was in a daze because he had been sniffi ng thinner that he bought with his pocket money. We sent him to the mental hospital for a check and we were

all saddened to know that he will remain in that dazed state for the rest of his life. There were other times that inhalant abuse caused immediate death when abusers, in a state of trance, fell off buildings or were drowned in the sea. Inhalants are chemicals easily available in homes and commercially. We can only use education to control the problem. We need the teachers and the parents, and the public, to be vigilant. Inhalants are in fact ‘gateway drugs’ because these abusers are likely to try other drugs later on. The inhalant problem was reduced signifi cantly in the early 90s. It was very unfortunate that the problem of inhalant abuse returned in 2007.

In the later part of 2008, SANA may soon come in to help with counseling the inhalant abusers, and to work closely with parents. All along, SANA has been educating the young, especially with our Anti-Drug and Inhalant Abuse Badge Scheme programme that we carry out with the full support from the secondary schools and the uniformed groups. In 2007 itself we also saw Subutex abuse happening. Formerly used as a replacement therapy, Subutex became a ‘substitute’ for heroin. This is why public education is so critical.

Partners Against Drug AbuseOn one of my trips to United States, I was very inspired by Dr Mimi Silbert and her Delancey Street Foundation. There, drug addiction is a very visible problem, and this organization is doing something very wonderful to help the community. The addicts, rejected by treatment and rehabilitation centres were picked up from the streets and offered a second shot at life. The willing ones were trained with skills in cooking, house moving and gifts delivery during Christmas and so on, and they in turn put in effort to change their behaviour and lifestyle. Delancey Street Restaurant, also their key training school, is manned fully by these reformed addicts. By the way, they serve really good food, and the waiters give excellent service. Most amazingly, Delancey Street Foundation achieved so much, with no assistance from the government, but with the corporate world fully fi nancing their cause. The community, by accepting them, has also contributed to making useful citizens out of these addicts who had, once upon a time, fallen to the bottom of the well. Just as I draw my inspiration from them, I hope that the corporate world will also be inspired to contribute, and to join us in our cause against drug abuse.

SANA is also glad to have partners in the community who share the same goal. I remember the year 1993 as a turning point for SANA. All the directors from the various agencies – SCORE, Prisons, CNB and SANA, came together to deal with a recurrent drug situation. Later on, SANA and Singapore After-care Association (SACA) started to take on the Case Management Framework Programme (CMFP) for counselling. In 2000, a CARE Network (Community Action for the Rehabilitation of Ex-offenders) was formed.

For SANA to stay relevant in the community, it is important that we expand our volunteer scheme to build up an effective force. We have formed a management team in SANA to look after our volunteers. With our SANA Recreation Club, we are creating more opportunities for these like-minded and big-hearted people to socialize so that they support each other while fi ghting for the same cause. We want to keep the spirit of volunteerism alive, and we welcome everyone who can contribute.

SANA – Moving AheadWe have never wavered in our purpose. We reach out for public support against drug abuse, while working in tandem with government policies. Till today, SANA continues to focus on its counseling aspect and its anti-drug abuse programmes. All along, very strong community support came from the religious groups, who did a great job running the halfway houses too. They were very motivated and gave 100% of their heart and soul to help these recovering addicts. The success can be seen by the ever dropping numbers of residents in the halfway houses.

Over the years, SANA has been working on a very noble cause. We need everyone, the staff, our valuable volunteers, the public and the corporate world, to move ahead in synergy. Going forward, we want to step up on our publicity and fundraising efforts to reach out to the community with the vision of A DRUG-FREE Singapore.

SANA Participates in the 17th IFNGO ASEANNGOs Workshop

The International Federation of Non-Government Organisations for the Prevention of Drug and Substance Abuse (IFNGO) held its 17th IFNGO ASEAN NGOs Workshop in the capital of Brunei Darussalam, Bandar Seri Begawan, from 3 to 5 December 2007.

The workshop saw representatives from both ASEAN and non-ASEAN countries. Representatives from Singapore included participants from SANA and were headed by Mr Tan Seck Kang, Vice-President of SANA.

“Overcome the Incidence of Recidivism to Ensure an ASEAN DRUG-FREE 2015” was the theme for the workshop this year. Besides the objective of identifying reasons for relapse into drugs after treatment, the discussion encouraged participants to share experiences on best practices in overcoming this challenge.

Mr Percival Joseph Shepherdson and Mr Kalimuthu Murugayan, both volunteers and board members of SANA, shared

Highlightstheir insights on the practices adopted in Singapore to curb and prevent recidivism among former drug dependents.

Mr Murugayan presented on the infl uence of negative peer pressure in relation to recidivism, and highlighted the need to teach youths how to cope with negative peer pressure by arming them with positive values.

Mr Shepherdson shared approaches adopted by halfway houses in Singapore to assist rehabilitation of former drug addicts into society. This includes the practice of religious counselling to target behavioural change.

Ms Rosalind Tan, Assistant Director of SANA, highlighted how Singapore agencies and committees started the “Yellow Ribbon Project” to give ex-offenders a second chance.

Of the enriching experience he gained from the workshop, Mr Shepherdson said “Even though the conference has ended, the delegates still continue to network with each other and thus have formed a platform to share our knowledge and expertise in the area of fi ghting drug abuse in our various countries.”

The helpline plays two key roles; to support and

advise victims of drug abuse – the drug addicts and

their loved ones, and as an avenue for SANA

to provide the correct information to the public.

SANA Helpline36.6% of the calls reported was related to general drugs issues. Calls on Subutex related issues which reached 11.6% was slightly higher than the calls received related to Prescription Drugs which covered only 10.8% of the total calls. The percentages of calls were lower for Heroin/opium at only 6.6%; Smoking/Alcohol 5%; Ecstasy 3.3%; and Ketamine 2.5%. The lowest percentage of calls received were calls pertaining to Ice, at only 0.8%.

Inhalant Abuse

Our statistics indicated that 24.1% of the total calls received were pertaining to inhalant/glue abuse, the highest percentage for a specifi c drug. This suggested that inhalant/glue abuse caused the most concern among callers. The helpline analysis concurs with The Straits Times report on 11 April 2008 that the problem of glue sniffi ng is back. 644 inhalant abusers were caught by the CNB last year, a sharp jump from 403 inhalant abusers caught in 2006.

In 2008, not only will we streamline our processes to achieve better results to provide help to our community, we have made plans to publicise our Helpline to attain a greater outreach.

Since then, it continues to be a vital channel between SANA and the public with regard to the dissemination of information and assistance. The helpline also provides follow-up services to ex-drug offenders and their family members needing assistance.

The daily operating hours remain from 7.30 am to 12 midnight.

For the year 2007, we have received a total of 120 drug-related calls.

ASPIRE Camp

ASPIRE Camp is a new initiative launched in May 2007, and plays a critical part of our preventive strategy for young children who are at risk to falling prey to drug abuse. The programme targets foundation stream students who have poor school attendance or academic results, and aged between 10 and 15 years old. In some cases, the attendees were identifi ed by school authorities to attend the programme.

The programme wants to achieve these objectives:

• To increase awareness of drugs

• To promote Anti-Drug message amongst students

Preventive Drug Education• To provide a platform for students to

express themselves and showcase their talents

• To boost self-confi dence

ASPIRE Camp works on a specially designed outdoor therapy structure, which applies different techniques simultaneously, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and Experiential Learning Principles (ELP). The programme serves to develop important qualities and impart essential life skills to the pupils. The learning takes place when pupils are tasked to make responsible decisions and handle challenging situations, through refl ection, communication and learning from each other.

The programme therefore incorporates fun-fi lled games and activities in these one-day camps that build confi dence, and encourage creativity and teamwork among peers. A presentation cum video show on drugs is also featured to enhance the anti-drug message in the activities.

In 2007, A total of 308 pupils attended the ASPIRE Camp.

Through the surveys from students and teachers, we found that:

1. Students showed signifi cant improvement in self esteem

2. Sharing sessions provided students with the opportunities to voice their thoughts and feelings

3. Students felt more confi dent and motivated to strive harder in what they do, especially academically.

4. Students were engaged in learning and teamwork during the games.

ASPIRE Camp had a successful launch in 2007, as evident by the positive feedbacks which affi rm our projected outcomes.

Our target in 2008 is to reach out to 1200 students from 24 schools.

SANA Anti-Drug and Inhalant Abuse Badge Scheme

First introduced in 1977, SANA Badge Scheme programme continues to be conducted for the secondary school pupils. It serves to educate the students from the various uniformed groups on the dangers and consequences of drug abuse, and to deploy them as transfer agents to spread

the anti-drug abuse message to their peers. As such, it has been recognised as one of the profi ciency badges by the various school uniformed groups in Singapore.

The uniqueness of this programme lies in its self-generating nature. As Transfer Agents, the pupils will disseminate the anti-drug message to their schoolmates, friends, neighbours, siblings and their parents/guardians. With the message being consistently spread and multiplied, this scheme will not only fortify the uniformed group students, but also immunise their peers from this harmful habit.

The participating school uniformed groups are:-

1. National Police Cadet Corps

2. National Cadet Corps

At the course, the students undergo training in the form of role plays conducted by SANA staff and volunteer instructors over one day. They will be assessed by a written test and a practical assignment. In the latter, each student is required to take on the role of a Transfer Agent to spread the Anti-drug and Inhalant abuse message to 10 other individuals. These individuals will then answer the online questionnaires.

Students who pass the the written test and complete the practical assignment will be awarded with Certifi cates of Achievement and badges to be worn on their uniforms.

In 2007, 7424 students from the 10 uniformed groups underwent the Badge Scheme. The tug-of-war game was introduced to the course plan to instill in the students a sense of perseverance and to encourage teamwork.

Drug Abuse Prevention Committees

Introduced in 1979 to tap resources at the constituency/neighbourhood level, the SANA Neighbourhood Scheme has seen much change with the times. Today, Drug Abuse Prevention Committees (DAPCs) are formed in various constituencies with the support and assistance from the grassroots organisations.

The committee is usually represented by members of the Citizens’ Consultative Committee, Community Centre/Club Management Committee, Youth Executive Committee, Residents’ Committees and other grassroots organisations in the respective constituency.

The Drug Abuse Prevention Committees carry out an important role of monitoring the drug and inhalant abuse situation in the constituency, besides working alongside SANA to recruit volunteers.

Their core function is to implement a variety of drug and inhalant abuse prevention programmes in the constituencies and organise healthy activities for youths to keep them away from drug and inhalant abuse. Besides actively campaigning by distributing anti-drug pamphlets to residents in conjunction with house visits, many educational talks and exhibitions were also held to engage the community.

Some interesting events held in 2007 were: a cycling expedition at Pulau Ubin to promote a healthy drug-free lifestyle and an educational visit to Central Narcotics Bureau for volunteers.

There are 19 committees assisting SANA in the preventive drug education programmes.

Case Management Framework Programme

The Case Management Framework Programme (CMFP) has been in place for 7 years since its inauguration in 2001. Throughout these years, CMFP has been improving through constant dialogue sessions with its relevant partners and CARE Network meetings. CARE Network consists of members from the Singapore Prisons, SCORE (Singapore Corporation Of Rehabilitative Enterprises), NCSS (National Council of Social Services), SACA (Singapore Aftercare Association) and SANA who would come together for frequent bimonthly discussions regarding the challenges and issues faced in CMFP.

CMFP is one of the major programmes that is run in SANA Aftercare Department with 8 Aftercare Case Managers (ACM) each handling about 30-35 cases. In the year 2007, although there were many changes in terms of staff strength, all Case Managers continued to work hard in serving our clients.

In recognition of our effort, 61.64% of our casework in 2007 received funding from NCSS.

As at the end of 2007, our statistics show that more than half of the cases placed under CMFP opted in for follow up by SANA.

Total number of cases placed under CMFP 899

Total cases opted in after pre-release briefi ng 542

From the total number of cases of 542, a further breakdown reveals a signifi cantly higher number of male clients.

AftercareLooking forward, SANA Aftercare Department has put in place Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for all ACM to follow and to guide them in their work in CMFP. This also serves to improve the overall quality of individual ACM. We are continually challenged to build up our expertise in different areas of our work, for example, addiction counseling and the application of suitable counseling theoretical framework to help our clients better reintegrate back into the society.

Aftercare Family Enrichment Programme

Aftercare Family Enrichment Programme (AFEP) serves to assist our Aftercare clients in their recovery process. Faced with the challenges of reintegrating back into the society, our clients generally have low self-confi dence and they also feel confused and helpless.

As families of Aftercare clients play a crucial role in facilitating the recovery of Aftercare clients, it is imperative to involve them in the Aftercare Programme. Besides giving the family members a better understanding of the recovery process, this involvement creates an opportunity for Aftercare clients and families to form a stronger alliance to withstand the strains of recovery. Thus, AFEP promotes family cohesiveness and enhance family relationship.

The programme targets Aftercare clients (those from CMFP and aged between 20 to 60 years old) who want to integrate back into society.

The Projected Outcomes are:

1. Strengthened family bonding

2. Self confi dence

3. Improved social skills

4. Courage to face new challenges

5. Goal-oriented mindset

6. Problem solving skills

7. Fostering of positive changes

AFEP focuses on organising outdoor events to reach out to aftercare clients of diverse backgrounds and needs. It is designed for the client to experience and apply these attributes in a positive and challenging environment.

The concept of Experiential Learning is applied to present an enlivening blend of specially designed indoor and outdoor activities using a highly experiential approach, laced with fun, action and challenge in a safe, healthy and controlled environment for clients. Experiential Learning is highly suited for the acquisition of practical skills for life; where trial and error and the opportunity to practice practical techniques related to real life tasks are essential.

After undergoing the concrete experience, a debrief session will be conducted to share and refl ect on the experiences learnt through the activities. The debrief aims to transform the experience and the sense of achievement to the person’s work or home environment. It uses the experience to overcome a person’s individual problems by contrasting negative experiences with the new positive experiences (McKay & Fanning, 1987).

The programme is structured to be run quarterly, on half-day or full-day duration.

In 2007, the events were held in the last three quarters of the year.

1. Community Services for Pelangi Village’s Residents @ Singapore Botanical Gardens

21 April (Saturday)

This event was organised in conjunction with the residents from Pelangi Village. Together with 17 Aftercare clients and their families, we brought the residents to Singapore Botanical Gardens. This event served to inculcate a positive mindset in Aftercare clients through contact with people who are less fortunate.

2. SANA Family Day @ SAFRA Yishun Country Club

21 July (Saturday)

We incorporated sporting activities such as Canopy Challenge walk, Speed climbing, Treasure hunt, Bowling and Bouldering gym for 70 of our clients and families. Besides helping to strengthen bonding through family support and communication, the healthy competition also reinforced the importance of striving for personal goals.

3. SANA Family Day @ Pasir Ris Park 25 November (Sunday)

The event was held in an outdoor family park on a Sunday to reinforce the idea of a harmonious and cohesive family. This event consisted of two parts, Family Race and Family Dish Contest. The Family Race encouraged the family to work as a unit to solve puzzles while the Family Dish motivated the family to enjoy performing a daily task together as an entity. The 50 participants experienced a day of fun and bonding with their families.

Women and Family Support Group

Previously known as Women Against Drug Abuse (WADA), this women-focused programme was restructured as Women and Family Support Group (WAFS) in January 2007.

The aim of the revamp was to organise specialised and life enrichment

Ex-clients of WAFS and volunteers at Yellow Ribbon Sports Carnival in November

programmes for a wider clientele group to include female recovering addicts who are Synthetic Drug Abusers (SDA) and female ex-offenders under the Case Management Framework Programme.

In September 2007, WAFS was again re-packaged to be more activity-based, with the addition of activities like Manicure/Pedicure, Yoga, Pottery etc. We believe that this unique clientele group will benefi t from these hands-on experiences. The programme includes a debrief section, where learning points are shared with facilitation by counsellors.

However the challenges that were faced by WAFS in year 2007 were many. SANA saw more than 50% decrease in the number of female clients under CMFP, and this greatly affected the fi nal turnout for WAFS events. As we believe that this programme has the potential to bring much benefi t to our female clients, we will continue to push for further improvement of WAFS in 2008, in terms of its execution, publicity and other areas.

SANA Affi liates

In 2007, SANA Affi liates saw many endeavors in both the areas of religious and social counseling within our work in the Singapore Prisons and follow-up programme initiatives by various religious Affi liates in their efforts to reach out to ex-offenders in rehabilitating them into the society.

SANA recognises the contribution from our Affi liates in our work with ex-offenders. These Affi liates also play a crucial role in supporting preventive drug education by bringing the anti-drug abuse message to a greater pool of people through the various religions.

There were also new initiatives within the Affi liates with more training courses planned, increased involvement in various Prison programmes and the enhancement of the existing Befriending programme in SANA that has been primarily run by Affi liates. Events were held regularly, or on ad-hoc basis throughout the year, by these dedicated affi liates:

1. SANA Catholic Aftercare (Counselling) Service

2. SANA Christian Counselling Service

3. SANA Hindu Aftercare (Counselling)

Service

3. SANA Muslim Aftercare (Counselling) Service

4. SANA Sikh Aftercare (Counselling) Service

6. SANA People’s Association Youth Movement Aftercare (Counselling) Service

SANA Christian Counselling Service has been carrying out two events on a regular basis:

• Grace Fellowship Services are attended bi-monthly by about 40 ex-inmates and their families.

• Overcomer’s Ministry Cell Group (OMCG) holds monthly meetings attended by female ex-inmates every fi rst and third Monday.

The year 2007 was an active one for our six Affi liates, with more than 30 events planned or participated in.

Rebuilding Lives Project (Family Intervention Programme)

Initiated by Prisons Department in November 2006, this programme served to cater to the needs of inmates placed on Home Dentention (HD) or Work-Release Scheme (WRS).

The Rebuilding Live Project/Family Intervention Programme recognised that family members play an important role in the rehabilitation and reintegration of the ex-offenders. Furthermore, family members need to be prepared to receive the ex-offenders upon their release from Prison.

The FIP consisted of two phases; the period before the inmates were emplaced and during their emplacement period.

Prior to Emplacement

Every month group sessions were conducted for the inmates who are due to be emplaced the following month. Each batch of inmates would undergo two group sessions covering topics such as Self-Awareness, Self-Esteem and Preparation for Release.

Concurrently, a group session was also arranged with the family members. Besides helping the family members to have a better understanding of the programme, topics such as effective communication and preparation to receive the inmates were covered.

During Emplacement

In the second phase, clients who had been assessed to be in need of greater support would be given individual and family counselling. During these sessions, coping skills, relationship problems and fi nancial issues would be addressed.

For all the clients who had completed six months of casework and counselling, a family day was organised to further enhance family relationship and strengthen family bonding.

From January to April 2007, the number of inmates who completed FIP was 153, with 21 inmates given individual counselling.

This 6-month programme has ended in April 2007.

Introduction

SANA’s mission to mobilise the community to work alongside our cause will only be meaningful when we continue to build up a strong partnership with our volunteers.

2007 was a year of major restructuring for the organization when it comes to volunteer management. With the closure of PAL Programme and a reduction of cases at the Drug Rehabilitation Centre, SANA had a total of 264 Volunteer Guidance Offi cers (VGOs) and Volunteer Aftercare offi cers (VAOs) who were left with no task at hand. The situation called for an urgent need, to not only solve the impending problem, but to review and improve the structure.

A new unit, Volunteer Management, was thus formed in 2007. Moving towards a more centralised management system, the team will then put their focus on Recruitment, Training and Development and Retention of volunteers.

New Programme for Volunteers

ASPIRE Camp, the new initiative launched only in May 2007, was the fi rst programme to reap benefi ts from the new Volunteer Management structure. Targeted at children at risk to falling prey to drug abuse, the programme requires youths who are able

Volunteer Managementto interact with the participants through games, and at the same time qualifi ed to facilitate effectively.

To provide enough manpower resource to run the camps effi ciently, SANA ran active recruitment for Youth Facilitators. Present volunteers trained in Basic Counselling Course were able to apply their learning to this new programme. The untrained volunteers had the opportunity to receive training and carry out a different task. An attachment programme with Meridian Junior College was also drawn up, and 25 student leaders were equipped with training that is also very essential to their leadership role.

This newly formed group of Youth Facilitators then took on the challenge to engage and motivate the participants (aged between 10 and 15) during fun-fi lled games and activities, while making sure the anti-drug abuse message is ever present.

Recruitment

Recruiting is the one of the elements that contributes to continuous success of a programme.

To maintain a consistent pool of volunteer in each programme, department have to forecast their requirement and profi le of volunteers to recruit.

35Our department is looking into specifi c recruitment rather than general recruitment. The reason for doing this is to have the right volunteers for the right job.

Training and Development

In order to improve the performance of the volunteers, SANA needs to train our volunteers in order to acquire the necessary capabilities and skills.

This year, we are reviewing the training programme and we have developed an orientation programme and two levels of training

1. Orientation Programme – An introduction programme for volunteers about SANA vision, mission and objectives.

2. Basic Training – A programme for all SANA volunteers which comprises basic counselling skill, facilitation skills and communicatioin skills.

3. Advance Training – At this stage, a training road map will be identify for the volunteers and Programme Head can identify training for volunteer’s development.

Looking forward, we are hoping to develop a comprehensive training roadmap for different volunteers and a Management system for volunteer training and development.

Retention

SANA believes in looking after the welfare and development of our volunteers.

The annual SANA Volunteer and Donor Appreciation Nite is our form of appreciation for our volunteers’ effort. During this dinner, awards are presented as a form of recognition for their effort.

In July 2007, the President of SANA set up a SANA Recreation Club. Mr Percival J Shepherdson, Board member was tasked to chair the club to promote fellowship among members, volunteers and staff. The club will organize social, cultural, recreational and sports activities. This is an avenue for volunteers to gather outside their usual volunteer work and have fun together.

SANA Walks for Ex-Offenders and their Families

On 2 September 2007, 60 volunteers from SANA marched in support of ex-offenders and their families at The Yellow Ribbon Walk & Fair event. The event is part of the Yellow Ribbon Project – an initiative by the Community Action for the Rehabilitation of Ex-Offenders (CARE) Network.

Guest of Honour, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, fl agged off the 3.7km walk which began at Pasir Ris Town Park and ended with a carnival fair at Prison Link Centre

in Changi. Participants were treated to a fun time at the fair which had a lucky draw, a cheerleading competition and performances by talented inmates.

SANA, a member of CARE Network, was represented by the newly formed Women’s Volunteer Group who spread the positive message “It’s cool to be drug free” with ice-creams. SANA raised $1432.20 from the sale of ice-creams and outright donations.

SANA also involved the public in the fi ght against drug abuse through a specially designed pledge card on which people declared their reasons to be drug-free.

Independent Auditors’ Report To The Members of Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association

We have audited the accompanying fi nancial statements of Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (the “Association”), set out on pages 44 to 55, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2007, and the income and expenditure statement, statement of changes in funds and cash fl ow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The fi nancial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated 15 May 2007 expressed an unqualifi ed opinion on those statements.

Management Committee’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Association’s Management Committee is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these fi nancial statements in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes:

(a) devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls suffi cient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair balance sheets and income and expenditure statements and to maintain accountability of assets;

(b) selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and

(c) making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fi nancial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the fi nancial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the fi nancial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fi nancial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Notes To The Financial Statements - 31 December 2007

The following notes form an integral part of the fi nancial statements.

GENERAL1.

The Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (the “Association”) is registered as a society (Registration No. 0249/1971) under the Societies Act, Chapter 311. The Association is also registered as a charity (Registration No. 00039) under the Charities Act, Chapter 37. The Association is approved as an institution of public character under Section 37 (3) (c) of the Singapore Income Tax Act, Chapter 134, currently for a period of 5 years commencing 1 August 2005.

The Association’s registered offi ce is at 2 Sengkang Square, #05-01 Sengkang Community Hub, Singapore 545025.

The principal activities of the Association are to conduct preventive education programmes against drug and inhalant abuse, to provide religious and social counselling for the inmates in the drug rehabilitation centres and aftercare assistance for those released from these centres on supervision.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES2.

(a) Basis of Preparation

The Association presents its fi nancial statements in Singapore dollars, which is also its functional currency.

These fi nancial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention and comply with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS), including related Interpretations promulgated by the Accounting Standards Council.

(b) FRS and INT FRS not yet effective

The Association has not applied any new FRS or INT FRS (Interpretations of Financial Reporting Standards) that has been issued as at the balance sheet date but is not yet effective. The Management Committee does not anticipate the adoption of the new FRS and INT FRS in future fi nancial periods to have any material impact on the Association’s fi nancial statements in the period of initial application.

(c) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line method so as to write off the cost of these assets over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Furniture and fi ttings 3 years Offi ce equipment 3 years

The residual values and useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each balance sheet date.

Fully depreciated assets are retained in the fi nancial statements until they are no longer in use.

(d) Investments

A. Classifi cation

The Association classifi es its investments in the following categories: held-to-maturity fi nancial assets and available-for-sale fi nancial assets. The classifi cation depends on the purpose for which the investments are acquired. Management Committee determines the classifi cation of its investments at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date, with the exception that the designation of fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss is not revocable.

(i) Held-to-maturity fi nancial assets

Quoted debt securities are held on a long term basis and classifi ed as held-to-maturity fi nancial assets.


SANA

ANN

UAL

REPO

RT

49

Held-to-maturity fi nancial assets are non-derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments and fi xed maturities that the Association has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

Held-to-maturity fi nancial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs, and subsequently carried at amortised costs using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment.

(ii) Available-for-sale fi nancial assets

Unquoted equity securities are held on a long term basis and classifi ed as available-for-sale fi nancial assets.

Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs, and subsequently carried at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of these fi nancial assets are recognised directly in the statement of changes in funds.

When available-for-sale fi nancial assets are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments in the statement of changes in funds is recognised in the income and expenditure statement.

B. Recognition and Derecognition

Investments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Association becomes a contractual party to the contractual provisions of the fi nancial instrument. Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date, that is, the date on which the Association commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash fl ows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Association has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. On derecognition of an asset, the difference between the net sale proceeds and its carrying amount is taken to the income and expenditure statement. Any amount in the fair value reserve relating to that asset is also taken to the income and expenditure statement.

(e) Receivables

Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. Receivables with a short duration are not discounted.

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, cash at bank and bank deposits with fi nancial institutions which are subject to insignifi cant risks of changes in value. Cash equivalents are stated at amounts at which they are convertible into cash.

(g) Funds

(i) Development Funds

Development funds comprise funds transferred from accumulated funds and are transferred at the discretion of the Management Committee. Development funds are set aside for the development of the Association’s future activities including contingencies.

(ii) Miscellaneous Funds

Miscellaneous funds comprise funds of religious and other groups affi liated with the Association and are used solely for the furtherance of the objectives of the respective religious and other groups.

(h) Payables

Payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(i) Revenue Recognition

(i) Donation and Fund Raising Income

Provided there is evidence of entitlement, as expressed in writing, donations and income from fund raising events are recognised in the income and expenditure statement in the period of receipt or when they become receivable.


SANA

ANN

UAL

REPO

RT

50

(ii) Government Grants

Government grants are only recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to the grant are met and the right to receive payment is established.

These grants are recognised as income in the income and expenditure statement to match the related operating expenditure.

(iii) Interest Income

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis, using the effective interest method, unless collectibility is in doubt.

(j) Employee Benefi ts

(i) Defi ned Contribution Plans

The Association makes contributions to the state provident fund (Central Provident Fund). Such contributions are recognised as compensation expenses in the same period as the employment that gave rise to the contributions.

(ii) Short-term Compensated Absences

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for employee entitlements to annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.

(k) Impairment of Assets

A. Impairment of Financial Assets

(i) Impairment of Held-to-maturity Financial Assets and Other Receivables

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred in respect of a fi nancial asset, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash fl ows, discounted at the original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these fi nancial assets). The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss shall be recognised in the income and expenditure statement.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to any event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss shall be reversed either directly or by adjusting an allowance account. The amount of the reversal shall be recognised in the income and expenditure statement.

(ii) Impairment of Available-for-sale Financial Assets

A signifi cant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale fi nancial asset is considered in determining whether the asset is impaired. If any such evidence exists, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on the fi nancial assets previously recognised in the income and expenditure statement – is removed from the fair value reserve in the statement of changes in funds and recognised in the income and expenditure statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income and expenditure statement for equity investments are not reversed through the income and expenditure statement until the equity investments are disposed.

B. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and its value in use. The value in use is the present value of estimated future cash fl ows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.


SANA

ANN

UAL

REPO

RT

51

An impairment loss is charged to the income and expenditure statement unless it reverses a previous revaluation, in which case, it will be charged to statement of changes in funds. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount or when there is an indication that the impairment loss recognised for the asset no longer exists or decreases. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(l) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Association has a present legal or constructive obligations as a result of past events, it is probable that an outfl ow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

(m) Leases

Operating Leases

Leases whereby the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefi ts of ownership of the leased item are classifi ed as operating leases.

When the Association is the lessee, operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income and expenditure statement on a straight line basis over the lease term.

The key management personnel comprise members of executive committee and senior management of the Association. Members of the committee are volunteers and receive

no monetary remuneration for their contribution.

10. TAXATION

No income tax is provided for current year as with effect from year of assessment 2008, the Association, which has been registered as a charity, will be exempted from income tax in compliance with the Income Tax Act.

In 2006, the tax liability of the Association was regulated by Section 13(1)(M) of the Income Tax Act, whereby the Association was required to apply 80% of donations it received and of its income in the preceding year for charity and charitable objects, unless the Comptroller otherwise permits. The Association had met the requirement and therefore no provision for taxation had been made in the fi nancial statements for 2006.

11. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Association is exposed to minimal fi nancial risks. The Association does not have a formal overall risk management programme but reviews overall risk on an informal basis. Risk management practices are determined and carried out by the Management Committee and they are summarised below:

(i) Credit Risk

Management Committee monitors the Association’s exposure to credit risks on an ongoing basis.

Cash and cash equivalents are placed with fi nancial institutions with good credit ratings.

As at the balance sheet date, there was no signifi cant concentration of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each fi nancial asset.


SANA

ANN

UAL

REPO

RT

55

(ii) Interest Rate Risk

The Association’s exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from its fi xed deposits placed with fi nancial institutions. The Association constantly monitors movements in interest rates to ensure deposits are placed with fi nancial institutions offering optimal rates of return.

The interest rates and terms of maturity of fi nancial assets are disclosed in the notes to the fi nancial statements.

(iii) Liquidity Risk

The Association manages its operating cash fl ows and the availability of funding so as to ensure that a suffi cient level of cash and cash equivalents is maintained to meet its working capital requirement.

12. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

(i) Investments

The fair value of quoted fi nancial assets is determined by reference to its quoted bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of the held-to-maturity fi nancial assets is $315,000 (2006: $312,000).

The fair value of the available-for-sale fi nancial assets, being an unquoted equity investment, cannot be reliably measured as there is no quoted market price in an active market and other methods of determining fair value do not result in a reasonable estimate. Consequently cost has been used as the measurement basis.

(ii) Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximate their fair values due to their short term nature.

13. OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS

As at the balance sheet date, the Association has commitments for future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases as follows:

2007 2006

$ $

Payable within 1 year 16,800 16,800 Payable after 1 year but not later than 5 years 36,100 52,900

52,900 69,700

The above operating lease commitments are based on known rental rates as at the date of this report and do not include any revision in rates which may be determined by the lessor.

14. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2006

The fi nancial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006 were audited by another fi rm of auditors (other than Lo Hock Ling & Co.) whose report dated 15 May 2007 expressed an unqualifi ed opinion on those statements.

15. AUTHORISATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fi nancial statements of the Association for the year ended 31 December 2007 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Management Committee dated 28 April 2008.
