The school launched into a month of aggressive promotion as part of a nationwide programme for an ongoing anti-drug drive organised by the government. SMSH elected their school's Anti-Drug Team, or A-team from the school's Pembimbing Rakan Sebaya or Peer Guidance Group, to illustrate this year's nationwide competition theme of "Remaja Berwawasan, Kestabilan Negara"( Youths with visions contribute to a stable nation), to their schoolmates and to youths in general. The five-man student team from the Sengkurong-based school claimed to have mobilised themselves for the launch in less than two days' of preparations. The school's Form One students were treated to a skit entitled "Kesal" (Regret), and recited an original Malay poem called "Dadah Musuh Negara" (Drugs are the Country's Enemy), both performed by members of the school's Peer Guidance Group. Yesterday the school's hall was decorated with banners promoting their cause, adding to the exposure provided by the recent installation outside the school of used PET bottles spelling out the year's theme. One of the SMSH A-team members, Dk Nur 'Atiqah Pg Hj Mohd Japri said that they hoped to hold more events of interest for their peers, even beyond the end of the competition. They also announced a futsal event towards the same cause this Saturday on the school's grounds. The competition period will draw to a close by the end of this month, after which a definite winner will be announced from the participating schools. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
