We are thrilled to welcome ISSUP Malaysia into the National Chapter network!

The new National Chapter will be hosted by the Organisation for Addiction Prevention, Treatment and Rehabilitation (OAPTAR) – a non-profit non-governmental organisation based in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.

ISSUP is delighted to assist in this extremely positive development for Malaysia which will be led and developed by the President of the host organization, Ms. Cindy Biding, assisted by a team of executive committee members.

The ISSUP Malaysian Chapter hopes to provide a focal point for information and networking amongst Malaysian prevention, treatment and recovery support professionals. Additionally, ISSUP Malaysia desires to promote and expand training opportunities to a wider range of practitioners throughout the country in line with the government’s vision to have a trained and qualified drug demand reduction workforce.
