Singapore anti-narcoticS aSSociation

our missionTo mobilise our community

against drug abuseand strive towards adrug-free Singapore

the Sana annual report cover is designed by Husni Bin

adris @ Xam, an ex Sana client. He is committed to stay

drug-free and has channelled his energies to his freelance work

in graphic design, wedding decoration and venue design.

The look of the design comes across as contemporary and structured, and representative of the modern age that we live in. The wheel in motion further emphasises the changing of the times, as well as symbolises the growth and the ongoing journey of an individual, along the ‘lines of life’. Whether it is the journey of a youth in search of identity, a recovering drug-user getting back on his feet, or a family rebuilding a life together, the path is as arduous.

For Xam, the opening of the eye signifies the realisation that he had strayed to the wrong path of drugs, and the awakening was the turning point for him. The ‘eye’ also stands for awareness and insight, when youths receive the important message to stay drug-free.

At the same time, the ‘eye’ represents the vision of SANA, in striving for a safe and healthy country and focusing on key values and aims, and these important groups of people: Our clients, their families, the youth and children, and our community.

president’s message

A Nation’s Drug-Free Resolve

Our Stand

Singapore first outlawed the consumption of drugs in 1946 with the enactment of the Opium and Chandu1 Proclamation Act. This made it illegal for the consumption and the sale of opium. Out of compassion for the many opium addicts who were left without drugs, the Customs and Excise Officers had to ration and dispense opium. The 40s to the 50s became a period where there was a public perception of drugs being acceptable as a result of the authorities’ ambivalent attitude towards opium consumption.

The anti-drug message was lost during the period and up to the early 1970s. This resulted in the current drug problem. As part of our anti-drug campaign for the past few decades, the message has always been a clear ‘zero tolerance on drugs’. This is in spite of the increasing support in the world for ‘harm reduction’ which covers a range of public health policies designed to reduce the harmful consequences of drug abuse. There are currently more than 80 harm-reductionist countries and territories2. Some initiatives that resulted are the usage of other narcotic drugs as a maintenance programme, provision of easily available, cheap or free syringes, and even legalising certain drugs like marijuana.

SANA’s stand has always been firm against this, despite the global trend. We must not allow our preventive efforts to be diluted by weak messages which send out wrong signals to the young. Preventive Drug Education must be carried out relentlessly and come across strongly, even more so when our new generation of youths become more exposed to the temptation of drugs through the electronic media.

Reaching to our Youths

Mode of communication evolves and there is a diverse choice of media today. It is crucial to establish the anti-drug message within the youth community through new, creative ways. Preventive Drug Education (PDE) needs to be done differently.

While music and film continues to enthrall young minds, teenagers and young adults of today spend a considerable amount of time online. Working with ElchemiEducation for the 3rd National Schools’ Podcast Competition 2009 is one creative and engaging PDE initiative for youths to join SANA in sending the drug-free message to other youths.

For years, SANA has ensured that our youth-centred PDE programmes are facilitated by youth volunteers, aged from 16 to 20s. By having young mentors for the Drug and Inhalant Abuse Badge Scheme and ASPIRE Camp, SANA aims to encourage more synergy and positive role modelling during these programmes.

2009 will see an exciting collaboration with Home United Football Club and planning is in progress for our local football stars to participate in the ASPIRE Camp and engage the children with their sharing. The year will also see the launch of SANA Study Awards, with the generous help of our sponsors, Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple and PCS Security. These initiatives will inspire and motivate the pupils with the message that they can discover their dreams and work towards them; a full life has no place for drugs.

Unyielding Compassion

Despite our nation’s strong stand for zero-tolerance when it comes to drugs, there is deep compassion for the afflicted families, and faith in the human potential to restart and renew a life without drugs. Besides the family-oriented Aftercare Family Enrichment and Sports Programme that seeks to help bonding with the introduction of games, activities and sports, the first run of SMART Programme was completed in March 2009 for probationers (youths aged 14 to 18) who had been involved in inhalant abuse. The latter programme features a unique component of parental involvement, which works hand in hand with therapy to create a better understanding and stronger synergy in the rehabilitation process.

While there is a consistent effort to improve the family focus in the design of our programmes, SANA will also explore a more in-depth understanding in terms of client profile and analysis. There are plans underway to also develop our programmes further with a formation of a support group for our clients, ex-clients and their loved ones.

Moving into 2009 Our volunteers, partner agencies, corporate donors, and all who have shown support in our anti-drug cause, are invaluable to SANA. They have given us a stronger, louder and clearer voice in striving for a drug-free Singapore.

Since the launch in 1990, the Helpline has played an

important role; supporting and advising/counselling

victims of drug abuse (the drug addicts and their loved

ones), providing follow up counselling and support to

recovery drug offenders and their family members. It also

serves as an additional channel to disseminate the correct

information to the public.

The total number of calls received by SANA helpline

for 2008 was 486. In 2007 SANA helpline received

293 calls. This is an increase of 193 calls or 66 percent

for 2008.

Breakdown of calls – Call Types

41 percent of all calls received in 2008 are classified

under “others” This category of calls includes non-drug

related issues such as volunteer opportunities enquiries

and requesting for information on SANA services.

A significant number of calls received are from family

members or friends who are concerned about someone

facing problems with drugs. SANA helpline provides

assistance to them with information about drug related

issues and explore various options available for them to

seek help. SANA also offers them face to face counselling

sessions if necessary.

15 percent of calls handled are seeking for information

related to drug issues. These calls may be asking for

contact numbers of drug related agencies or information

on drug abuse. The helpline has seen an increased in the

number of calls from 29 calls to 45 calls related to inhalant

abuse compared to 2007.

The Helpline is manned daily from 7am to 12 midnight.

19percentofcallswerehandledafterofficehours(7pm–

12am) by a pool of 12 trained volunteers who are rostered

daily. The remaining 81 percent of calls were handled

mostly by staff during office hours.

A small percentage (7%) of calls received are from

addicts or ex-addicts seeking help. Helpliners listen to

their problems and provide emotional support through

the phone and invite them for a face to face counselling

session with a counsellor if needed. Some problems shared

by addicts/ex-addicts include difficulties in finding jobs

and problems with drug addiction.

One percent of calls received are from the public to

report suspected illegal drug activities. SANA helpline

provides the CNB hotline for callers to report any illegal

drug activities. Another one percent of calls are from

hospitals, schools or other agencies to refer someone who

has problems with drugs. SANA helpline offers support

by making outcalls to persons referred by hospitals or

schools. Face to face counselling session is also offered

ChineseMalayIndian Unknown

More than 50 percent of calls received are from Chinese.

Malay callers constitute 24 percent of all calls and 9

percent are from Indians. Despite the variety of ethnic

groups utilizing the helpline, the common language used

is English. In any event where the helpliner is not able to

engage the caller due to language barrier, the call will be

followed up by a counsellor who is competent in handling

the language spoken.

SANA helpline has actively followed up on callers by

making outcalls. A total of 81 cases have been followed up

with an average of 2-3 outcalls made per case. In addition,

a total of 33 cases were arranged for face to face session

with an average of 1-2 sessions per case.

Out of 33 cases, about one third of face to face sessions

involve family members seeking help. The other third

involves working with youths who are accompanied by

parents because of inhalant abuse. SANA counsellors

attend to such cases and work closely with their parents.

The remaining cases involved working with addicts or ex-

offenders who are invited for face to face sessions.

15

In the year 2008, SANA has taken proactive steps in

focusing on the publicity of helpline. With the increasing

numbers of inhalant abuse by youths recently, SANA

is putting in more effort in engaging youths through

helpline. One such example is through publicising the

helpline during the ASPIRE Camp conducted by SANA

where primary school students in the foundation stream

undergo a 1-day camp to increase awareness of drug abuse

and promoting anti-drug message. Students from such

programs are encouraged to call the helpline if they need

help. In addition, SANA has taken steps to publicize the

SANA continues to emphasize on the importance of training

for helpline volunteers. In 2008, helpline volunteers were

sent to attend relevant courses/workshops so as to improve

the service provided for our callers. Regular meetings

were conducted with volunteers to discuss about handling

difficult calls. In-house training was also conducted to

cover areas such as basic skills in handling crisis and

suicidal callers.

For 2009, SANA is looking at increasing the pool of

younger volunteers to man the helpline. Newly recruited

volunteers will undergo in-house training to equip then

with the necessary skills before embarking on manning

the helpline independently.

Helpline Publicity

Future Directions

helpline number prominently on every page of our official

website. We have also printed the helpline service number

on the flip side of our SANA name cards.

One of the challenges SANA helpline faces is the perception

that SANA is a legal enforcement related agency. SANA is

currently working closely with an established media and

advertising company on ways to improve the publicity of

the helpline as well as softening the image of SANA so

as to be able to reach out to more people especially the

youths and addicts.

Another area of improvement under consideration is

to move towards an approach where volunteers make

follow-up outcalls to callers as most outcalls are currently

handled by SANA’s counselling staff. The helpline can

look towards training the volunteers to be equipped with

the skills needed to make follow-up outcalls so as to

check on callers and provide support. Besides providing

the volunteers with a wider and more meaningful scope of

work, this initiative will also allow the counsellors more

time to focus on areas of work which requires their skill in

professional counselling and clinical supervision.


preventive drug education


17

a drug-free life for youth & the communityAnti-drug abuse education, being fun and engaging,

is our way of sending the message to our youths and

the community at large.


aspire campThe ASPIRE Camp was launched in 2007 to educate

foundation stream students between primary four to six,

on the dangers of drug and inhalant abuse.

Theobjectivesofthisprogrammeare:

i) To increase awareness of inhalant abuse and

its consequences

ii) To promote anti-drug message to students

iii) To instil a sense of self-efficacy

iv) To provide a platform for students to express

themselves and showcase their creativity.

This one-day programme utilises experiential learning

through fun-filled games and activities. A lively

presentation and video show on inhalant abuse is also

featured, thus enhancing the anti-drug message in the

ASPIRE Camp.

With the generous funding of $30,000 from Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple and the dedication of SANA

volunteers, the ASPIRE Camp was able to reach out to a

total of 310 youngsters in 2008 from the following schools/

club:

Our post event evaluation shows that the vast majority

of the students (93.6%) enjoyed themselves during the

ASPIRE Camp. More importantly, 96.1% of the surveyed

agreed that they have learnt about drugs, inhalant abuse

and their consequences, with only 3.9% stating that they

were unsure. The camp received favourable feedback from

Jiemin Primary, which signed up for ASPIRE Camp again

in the first quarter of 2009.

Sisters’, the pupils felt a strong sense of ownership. Most

importantly, they felt appreciated for their efforts, and this

is just wonderful.”

Ms Soumini Nair, Teacher

A Vibrant Year AheadSANA thanks Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple

for continuing their sponsorship for ASPIRE camp and

PCS Security for also coming on board to support the

programme. With the strong support from our sponsors,

SANA aims to expand our outreach in 2009, with a target

of 20 camps for a selected group of 800 students.

New Initiatives2009 sees two new games introduced to enhance the

students’ experiential learning. The camp now kicks off

with an ice-breaker game called Identity Crisis, where

students in their respective groups have to come up with

a group name and poster to represent them throughout the Our experienced volunteers explaining the game to Compassvale Primary School students

“Our teachers are very excited for their classes to attend

the programme. It makes a big difference to these children,

for them to receive important takeaways like teambuilding,

character building and so much more. Was it worth it for

these children to miss one whole day of lesson? Yes, because

this is an ‘investment’ we have made for our pupils.”

entire camp. This ice breaker game not only introduces

the students to the concept of team working, but also

requires them to use their creativity. At the end of the day,

the students have to come up with their team mascot for

the Fashion Show. The second game involves strategic

thinking and communication in addition to strong team

work. River Crossing is a game whereby the entire group

has to cross the ‘river’ using only four ‘stepping stones’ that

are the size of an A3 paper.

To value add their learning experience, a vital post-camp follow up will be organised from mid-2009 onwards.

There are plans underway to hold football camps with Home United Football Club, where the youths will be

inspired and motivated to work hard for their dreams. With

the help of HUFC, we will also invite their footballers to

share experiences and touch on pertinent topics during the

camp.

From 2009, we plan to incorporate study awards for

the participating students. These study awards will be

given to students nominated by their schools. Prizes for

activities during the camp will also be given to students in

recognition of their non-academic skills. The objective is

to help boost their self confidence, and to show that their

school and the community also recognise their ability and

talent in non-academic areas.

Quality FacilitationTo ensure quality facilitation, new ASPIRE Camp

volunteers will undergo training in game facilitation and

debriefing of the students on the learning points of each

game. SANA also plans to send volunteers for relevant

courses organised by external training providers to

motivate and better equip them in carrying out their work.

After every camp, a review session is held for all the

facilitators involved. SANA has plans to hold an annual

gathering to provide an opportunity for sharing and

learning from one another, and strengthening the bonds

among the volunteers, as well as with the staff.

sana anti-drug and inhalant abuse badge scheme

The objective of the Badge Scheme is two-fold; namely to

educate the students from the various uniformed groups on

the dangers and consequences of drug abuse, and to tap on

these students as transfer agents to spread the anti-drug

abuse message to their schoolmates and peers.

As such, it has been recognised as one of the proficiency

badges by the various school uniformed groups in

Singapore. The participating school uniformed groups are:-

1. National Police Cadet Corps

2. National Cadet Corps

3. National Civil Defence Cadet Corps

4. The Boys’ Brigade in Singapore

5. The Girls’Brigade in Singapore

6. St John Ambulance Brigade

7. Girl Guides Singapore

8. The Singapore Scout Association

9. Singapore Red Cross

10. Singapore Youth Flying Club

Besides talks, power point presentations and a video show,

the course also features a training session in the form of

role-playing, conducted by SANA staff and volunteer

instructors over one day.

During the course, they will be given a written test and a

practical assignment to assess what they have learned. .

In the practical assignment, they will be required to take

on the role of a Transfer Agent in helping to spread the

Anti-drug and Inhalant abuse message by speaking to 5

individuals. These individuals will be required to answer

and submit online questionnaires.

Those who pass the the written test and complete the

practical assignment will be awarded with a Certificate of

Achievement and a badge to be worn on their uniform.

The teaching value of the Badge Scheme lies in its positive

multiplier system.. As Transfer Agents, they help to

disseminate the anti-drug message to their classmates,

schoolmates, friends, neighbours, siblings and their

parents or guardians. Thus, the message is constantly

being spread and multiplied. Consequently, the Badge

Scheme will not only fortify the uniformed group students,

but also immunize their peers from this harmful habit.

To emphasise the importance of living a healthy lifestyle

and to instil in the students a sense of perseverance, a

tug of war game was introduced. For the year 2008, 7479

students from 162 secondary schools had undergone the

Badge Scheme.

sana neighbourhood schemeThe SANA Neighbourhood Scheme was introduced in

1979 to tap resources at the constituency/neighbourhood

level. Wherever possible, a Drug Abuse Prevention

Committee (DAPC) is formed in the neighbourhood with

the support and assistance of the Adviser to the grassroots

organizations. The committee is usually represented

by members of the Citizens’ Consultative Committee,

Community Centre/Club Management Committee, Youth

Executive Committee, Residents’ Committees and various

grassroots organizations in the constituency.

The objectives of the Drug Abuse Prevention Committee

are:

a) To implement drug and inhalant abuse

prevention programmes in the constituency

b) To organise healthy activities for youths to

keep them away from drug and inhalant

abuse

c) To monitor the drug and inhalant abuse

situation in the constituency

d) To recruit volunteers for SANA

Anti-drug activities and programmes like exhibitions,

talks, pledge to stay drug free, quizzes, etc are regularly

organised to inform the general public of the dangers of

drug and inhalant abuse.

that features more exciting initiatives ahead, SANA’s

community involvement at the ground also comes alive

with creativity and passion.

To engage the youth community, the four members of our

pop/rock/funk band, brought their energy and melodies

to the grassroots. Through our newsletter which reaches

23

all the schools in Singapore, the band also shared their

views on the importance of leading a drug free life, and not

succumbing to the ‘moment of false bravado’ from drugs.

Through injecting youth elements in our outreach activities

and supporting creativity and self expression, SANA hopes

to communicate to the community our sincerity in reaching

out to the younger generation. The anti-drug message is a

vital one that must keep up with the times, and what better

way than to turn to a more compelling medium, like music

and podcast?

Don’t Just Say It, Podcast itAs one of the official partners of ElchemiEducation’s 3rd

National Schools’ Podcast Competition 2009 (besides

Media Development Authority), SANA has tapped on

this influential medium to celebrate drug-free living with

youths nationwide. While the participants get to express

multi-dimensional creativity, they are also joining SANA

in sending the anti-drug message across to the youth

community.

A Central ForceAt the grassroots, there are some plans underway for

the SANA Neighbourhood Scheme to expand its reach

at the same time while centralising the Drug Abuse

Prevention Committees. SANA hopes to form a Combined

Coordinating Committee to pool the varied resources

and community activities from all 17 DAPCs and their

constituencies, into a national platform for residents from

the other neighbourhoods in Singapore. This will open up

a more accessible avenue for residents, islandwide, to join

in the combat against drug abuse and keep our nation safe

and healthy together.

rebuilding lives with familiesThe children, spouses and parents of the

recovering drug offenders need our empathy and

support, as family re-bonding and reintegration

into society are tough for these families.

A family-and-friends team taking part in SANA Sports Carnival 2008


case management framework

programme (cmfp)The thought of leaving a life of behind bars to being free

again could stir up mixed emotions in a client. The client

could be looking forward to be with his family again but

at the same time feeling anxious and uncertain of what he

would face ‘outside’. He could be overwhelmed, with the

various challenges and difficulties of rebuilding his life

and reintegrating into society again.

The Case Management Framework Programme (CMFP)

was introduced to assist with the aftercare needs of ex-

offenders. Under this programme, the After-care Case

Manager (ACM) is the person who is with them during their

arduous journey towards reintegrating into society. The

ACM is someone who will help them with their concerns

and guide them.

CMFP hopes to achieve the following desired outcome, to

reintegrateex-offendersthrough:

• Equippingclientswithlifeskillstocopewith

issues, problems, stress and social problems

independently.

• Empoweringclientstolearntoviewsituations

from a more positive perspective.

• Reducing the likelihood of ex-offenders

returning to drug addiction or other criminal

behaviour.

In essence, the CMFP provides an effective, coordinated

and integrated delivery of services from in-care to aftercare

for ex-offenders.

New initiativesAn important initiative in 2008 was the formalisation

of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) of the

Aftercare department. There is an improved workflow for

documentation and case closing procedure, so that all

ACMs benefit from a more structured work procedure to

ensure better efficiency and accountability.

Monthly department meetings are held with the team to

keep everyone abreast of the progress and direction of

CMFP and other programmes in the Aftercare department.

Another purpose of the meeting is to share new information

and lessons from the courses and seminars attended by

various ACM. An implementation that resulted is the

transport reimbursement to our clients as welfare and

to encourage them to attend the counselling sessions at

SANA, the venue with the most conducive environment.

The other new initiative is the monthly case conference.

This provides a platform for discussions on the handling

of CMF cases and it has helped to foster greater support

and bonding among the ACMs and resulting in better

team dynamics. The opportunities for sharing contributed

to the need to craft a Crisis Management SOP, to address

operational support to ACMs and volunteer befrienders in

the event of a crisis.

Our definition of crisis is based on the event where a

CMFPclient:

• Attemptssuicide

• Attemptstocauseharmtoothers

• Takessomeoneashostage

This SOP is operational at the organisational level

involving every SANA staff.

27

SANA received funding for our counseling cases: 50%

is funded by Singapore Prisons Service (SPS), 20% by

Singapore Cooperation of Rehabilitative Enterprises

(SCORE) and 20% by National Council of Social Services

(NCSS) and 10% by SANA.

Aftercare Department: The road ahead For 2009 efforts will continue to improve the work

processes, and new programmes are launched to better

service our clients and their families. In taking on this new

challenges, two new staff joined the team in 2008 bringing

the staff strength to 10 with each ACM handling about 30-

35 cases.

The issue of caring and rehabilitating persons with mental

illness and helping them to reintegrate into the community

is an area of increasing importance. New directions will be

taken in 2009 to look into this and SANA will be one of the

agencies that are likely to undertake this new challenging

responsibility. Changes to the Aftercare department where

new staff with specialised skills set will be employed to

provideaftercarecounsellingandsupportforthisgroup–

Offenders with Mental Disorder (OMD).

To improve on the number of take-up and successful

completion rates of CMF clients, Singapore Prison

Service (SPS), Singapore Aftercare Association (SACA)

and SANA have embarked on a SPS initiative to review

and enhance the CMF clinical practices and work

methods of the ACMs. The expected date of completion

of this project is in mid 2009, where it will be presented

toourCAREnetworkpartnerswhoare:SingaporePrison

Service, SCORE (Singapore Corporation of Rehabilitative

Enterprises), NCSS (National Council of Social Services),

SACA. SANA has also initiated its own research study

of our CMF clients’ profile, which we hope will deepen

our understanding of their responses and help us to

strengthen in our aftercare counselling work with

them.

SMART Programme

According to the official CNB statistics, the number of

inhalant abusers arrested has seen a marked increase,

from 120 in 2005 to 644 in 2008, with two-thirds of

the group made up of youths below 20. In response to

this worrying situation, SANA, in collaboration with

Ministry of Community, Youths and Sports (MCYS), has

designed a new programme targeted at youths (aged 14-

18) who have been identified as inhalant abusers, have

previous contact with inhalants or are at risk of inhalant

abuse. Aptly named ‘SMART’, it represents the focus of

the programme development: to attain Self-Management

through Activities, Reflections / Relationship and Therapy.

The SMART programme was launched in January 2009 for

probationers who are put on this programme for 6 weeks

of bi-weekly sessions. Parental involvement is a key

component of the programme, which includes experiential

activities such as Sandcastle building, High Elements and

enrichment workshops conducted by SANA counsellors.

Participants in the programme also include a CNB officer,

a school counsellor, an artist, recovering addicts and

volunteers.

Reformative Training Centre (RTC) Programme

Another youth-centred programme which the department

will undertake in 2009 is the Reformative Training Centre

(RTC) Programme, which targets reformative trainees aged

16 to 21. The Working Committee, comprising mainly

volunteers, headed by Mr Percival Shepherdson (Board

member of SANA), is looking into the formulation of the

programme contents.

Aftercare Family Enrichment and Sports Programme

The Sports Programme will be merged with the Aftercare

Family Enrichment Programme (AFEP) to bring greater

synergy to family-focused activities for our CMF clients

and for better resource utilisation. We will see more

exciting activities in this new merger, which will showcase

a variety of enrichment workshops and activities dedicated

to family support and bonding.

Take-up and Completion rateIn 2008 there were lower inmate numbers. This has led to

a decrease in the cohort which was referred to CMFP in

SANA and a proportionate reduction in take-up rate for

the year. SANA’s completion remained at 50%.


In 2008, SANA continues to provide aftercare befriending

services for recovering drug offenders in their efforts to

reintegrate into the community throughout the duration of

their urine supervision schedule of at least a year.

In addition to those who are released from Drug

Rehabilitation Centres, this befriending intervention

service is also extended to our walk-in and helpline clients

as well as referrals from external agencies such as Ling

Kwang Home and National University Hospital.

This programme also overlaps participation with the Social-

Work Reintegration Model initiated by a pilot project run

by Singapore Prison Service and Singapore Corporation of

Rehabilitative Enterprises (SCORE) whereby our in-care

religious counsellors prolong their counseling guidance

after the release of the inmates through mentoring.

On 22 Nov 2008, our Befriender Volunteers and our

SANA staff held a dialogue session to brainstorm ideas

that could strengthen our vision for the programme in

2009. The fruitful session brought about the following

recommendations towards the enhancement of the

programme:

• Financial assistance from the Yellow Ribbon

Fund, a charity fund which contributes to

befriender programme

the development and implementation of

reintegration programmes for ex-offenders

as well as support programmes to strengthen

families of ex-offenders, is to be extended to

clients under SANA’s Befriender Programme

as well, besides our existing pool of clients

under the Case Management Framework

Programme.

• To organize and set up a DAPC Central Co-

ordinating Committee (DAPC-CCC) to oversee

and co-ordinate the activities of the 17 Drug

Abuse Prevention Committees (DAPCs). The

objective of the DAPC-CCC is to elevate their

community role in anti-drug activities to a

higher level and in a coordinated and more

efficient and effective manner.

• Therewillbegreaterimportanceplacedonthe

religious aspect of the rehabilitation process in

the mentoring relationship with our clients to

ensure self-sustainability in building character

and resistance towards relapse. SANA plans

to work out the collaboration between the

Befrienders Programme and our various SANA

Religious Affiliates.

2008 was another fruitful year of continued support from

our religious affiliates in our work with Singapore Prison

Service to provide religious counselling within various

prison institutions.

incare-religious counselling programme

More than 4000 man-hours of religious counselling

were put in by our religious affiliates to counsel not only

recovering drug users, but also inmates who were serving

their sentence for penal offences.

Charity Dinner on 12 April

In the last quarter of the year, our Religious Affiliates

have extended our participation to the Social-Work

Reintegration (SWR) Programme a project initiated by

Singapore Prison Service and Singapore Corporation of

Rehabilitative Enterprises (SCORE). In this pilot project,

our Affiliates conducted intensive religious counselling

for selected inmates over a 12-week period and followed

it up with religious mentoring after the inmates have

completed their prison sentence. This project is now in

its second run for inmates who are scheduled for release

in early 2009. Counselling for these SWR Programme

inmates will continue after their release under the Case

Management Framework Programme at either SANA or

SACA (Singapore Aftercare Counselling Association). Rev Vincent Tan sharing sharing the Word of God at

SANA CCS Grace Fellowship on 6 October

The next direction for our religious affiliates will be the

‘Cluster B move’ when there will be a transfer of inmates

from Queenstown Remand Prison, Sembawang Prison,

Selarang Park Prison, Tanah Merah Prison and Khalsa

Crescent Prison to the new extension blocks of the Changi

Prison Complex. The ‘Cluster B move’ is slated for the

third quarter of 2009. There will thus be a revision in

the coordination of prison counselling by Singapore

Prison Service. Our Affiliates are looking forward to the

arrangement and taking on this additional responsibility

with their usual selfless commitment.

Once again, SANA salutes our religious counsellors in

their unwavering efforts towards the rehabilitation of our

clients and selfless commitment in striving towards a

drug-free society.

community reintegration programmeThe main objective of the Community Reintegration

Programme is to equip pre-release inmates with knowledge

and skills relating to reintegration, easing their transition

into the society, with the goal of reducing recidivism.

This secular-based programme is delivered in a lecture-

group setting by trained volunteers. Contents of the

programme are designed specifically to cater to areas

that are deemed as obstacles to our clients’ reintegration

efforts.

In 2008, Singapore Prison Service revised the Community

ReintegrationProgrammeinto4modules:-

• MakingEffectiveChoices

• Reintegrationwithfamily

• ReintegrationwithCommunity

• Employment

Volunteers undergo a half-day basic training workshop

followed by an orientation training, whereby volunteers

gradually progress from being observers of a CRP session

to being co-facilitators and subsequently, facilitation with

guidance.

Our CRP volunteers, who are also involved in the In-

care Religious Counselling Programme, are assigned to

facilitateCRPatthefollowingprisoninstitutions:

• ReformativeTrainingCentreatClusterA4

• ClusterA5

• KakiBukitPrisonSchool

At the end of 2008, the breakdown of CRP volunteers are

asfollows:

• 26volunteersareprovidingIn-care

counselling services

• 23volunteersarereceivingOrientation

Besides facilitation, SANA volunteers are also helping

to translate the CRP modules to Mandarin and Malay

languages. These translated modules will help to enhance

the understanding of the CRP modules by inmates who

are more receptive to their mother tongue languages. This

ongoing translation work is slated for completion by the

second quarter of 2009.

In 2008, our CRP volunteers have reached out to an

estimated 325 pre-release inmates at these prison

institutions: Kaki Bukit Prison School, Cluster A4

(Reformative Training Centre) and Cluster A5 (Pre-

Release Centre at Changi Prison Complex). For greater

effectiveness, SANA hopes to expand our pool of CRP

volunteers to 60 in 2009.

SANA Sports Carnival was held on 22 June 2008,

Sunday from 9am to 5pm at Yio Chu Kang Sports Hall.

20 Singapore Polytechnic students were recruited as

facilitators and station masters. There were about 150

participants in all, including SANA staff and volunteers,

sports teams from the grassroots associations, and more

importantly, our clients and their family members.

Studies have shown that drug abuse causes one to exhibit

potential negative social, psychological and physical

behaviour. Other risk factors include: low self esteem,

inability to deal with stress and emotional instability.

Family bonding and activities and Sports have been

proven as two effective tools to help drug addicts reduce

recidivism rate. Sports especially serve as an alternative

form of recreation for addicts to overcome their addiction.

SANA Sports Carnival thus creates an opportunity to

provide an enriching experience for Aftercare clients and

their families through sports and games to achieve 2 main

goals:

1. To help Aftercare clients develop a more effective

coping mechanism for their addiction issues. .

2. To foster healthy family bonding between Aftercare

clients and their families. Breaking a drug addiction is

difficult, but not impossible with the added support from

their family members.

Finally, we want to reach out to , not only the Aftercare

clients and their families, but also to mobilise the

community (i.e. volunteers) to spread the anti-drug

message to the society.

The programmes and activities were a Sports Tournament

(Netball and Futsal) and recreational games (jigsaw

puzzle, Twister, Uno and Blokus) to inject fun elements to

encourage interaction and teamwork.

SANA would like to thank the following sponsors for

supporting the event: Singapore Sports Council (SSC),

MUIS (Islamic Religious Council of Singapore), Singapore

Corporation of Rehabilitative Enterprises, Public Utilities

Board, SengKang Community Club and Punggol Central

Constituency Sports Club.

(bottom picture) ASPIRE Camp volunteers with staff


SANA’s belief that volunteers are valuable working partners

leads us in our holistic approach towards developing their

roles and capabilities. By assigning meaningful roles and

tasks to our volunteers and providing essential training

and learning opportunities, our volunteers will be able to

contribute more significantly towards SANA’s values and

goals.

Taking care of the volunteers’ welfare, the SANA Recreation

Club was officially formed in 2008 with activities to engage

the volunteers outside their normal work and to build a

stronger “espirt de corp” among them. We also took the

opportunity in September to replace the existing ID cards

with a brand new look for all our volunteers.

RecruitmentMatching the volunteer for the right job is to ensure job

satisfaction for them. This will also bring the outcome of

the programme to a greater height with better quality of

work..

2009 will see the department moving ahead with plans that

are more strategic, with a programme-based focus rather

than mass recruitment.

Training & DevelopmentIn 2008, the department identified the basic training

focus related to the work at SANA for our volunteers. A

variety of essential modules for the Basic Training were

planned for volunteers who have completed the orientation

programme. The first run of the modules was opened to the

befrienders and helpline volunteers.

From 2009, there would be two runs of the Basic Training

for the volunteers.

Advanced TrainingAfter the basic training, SANA will identify suitable

courses for volunteers deployed in different programme to

enhance them in their tasks.

In 2008, the following courses were rolled out to our

usual volunteering work. SANA takes a proactive and

transparent approach in sharing with them our programmes

towards our goals. For instance, SANA conducts bi-

Multi-racial Volunteer PoolIn comparison with 2007 figures, the ratio of the different

races is similar. However, compared to the current

National Statistic (Chinese formed 75.2% of Singapore’s

residents, Malays 13.6%, Indians 8.8% and Eurasians/

Data ManagementAs at Dec 2008, the total number of active volunteers is

591.

Currently, majority of the volunteers, almost 80% of the

pool, are engaged in a single programme. These volunteers

undergo training specific to the programme, and they gain

specialisation in their area of work.

There is also a group of experienced volunteers

participating in more than two programmes, and they would

have started off with one programme before proceeding to

take on another one, eg. Volunteers from badge scheme

will volunteer in ASPIRE Camp once they are settled in.

Some volunteers in religious counselling also took up a

second programme (Community Reintegration Programme

or Befriender Programme) once they are comfortable in

their primary role.

experiences and ideas on preventing drug abuse among

youth groups.

The students, Lee Zhi Kang, Kee Zhen Zhen, Sufandy

NGOs. IFNGO ASEAN NGOs Workshop in 2008 is the

fourth that Mr Muru has participated in.

It was a meaningful experience for me to be able to meet

the many delegates from the ASEAN countries whom I got

to know from the previous IFNGOs and they were full of

enthusiasm and sincerity in contributing to a noble cause,

fighting against drug abuse.

My reason for volunteering is to help the needy and share

with them the joy of this life where family and loved ones

can bond together and love each other. My hope is also to

motivate the poor and underprivileged that a drug free life

is beautiful. IFNGO ASEAN NGOs Workshop has given me

an opportunity for learning, sharing and knowing that I am

not alone in the fight against the menace of drugs; that I am

among many other fellow beings with a shared mission and

this has inspired me during challenging moments in this

tough fight against this drug menance.

Our SANA delegation’s participation at the Workshop was

prominently reported in both The Eastern Times and The

Borneo Post, the two main English dailies in Sarawak.

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

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (the “Association”), set

out on pages 52 to 63, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2008, and the income and expenditure

statement, statement of changes in funds and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant

accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Management Committee’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Association’s Management Committee is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial

statements in accordancewith SingaporeFinancialReportingStandards.This responsibility includes:

(a) devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient 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 financial 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 financial statements are free from material

misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial

statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material

misstatement of the financial 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 financial 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 financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit

opinion.

Notes To The Financial Statements - 31 December 2008

The following notes form an integral part of the financial statements.

1. GENERAL

The Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (the “Association”) is registered as a society (Registration No. S72SS0018H) 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 by the National Council of Social Service.

The Association’s registered office 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation

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

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention except as disclosed in the accounting policies below, and comply with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS), including related Interpretations promulgated by the Accounting Standards Council.

On 1 January 2008, the Association adopted the new or amended FRS and INT FRS (Interpretations of Financial Reporting Standards) that are mandatory for application from that date. Changes to the Association’s accounting policies have been made as required, in accordance with the transitional provisions in the respective FRS and INTFRS.The following are thenew/amendedFRS that are relevant to theAssociation:

FRS1 (Amendments) Presentation ofFinancial Statements –CapitalDisclosures FRS107 Financial Instruments:Disclosures

The adoption of these new/revised FRSs did not have any material effect on the Association’s financial statements and did not result in substantial changes to the Association’s accounting policies.

(b) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the financial statements. They affect the application of the Association’s accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an ongoing basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance

sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment The costs of property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful

lives. Management Committee’s estimates of the useful lives of these property, plant and equipment are disclosed in note 2(d). Changes in the expected usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets. Therefore, future depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and the depreciation charge for the year are disclosed in note 3.

(c) FRS and INT FRS not yet effective

The Association has not applied any new FRS or INT FRS 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 financial periods to have any material impact on the Association’s financial statements in the period of initial application.

(d) Property, Plant and Equipment

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Association and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight line basis so as to write off the cost, less the residual value, of the assets over their estimateduseful lives. The annual rates of depreciation are as follows:

Furniture and fittings 3 years Office equipment 3 years

57

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(d) Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate, at each financial year end. The effects of any revision are recognised in the income and expenditure statement when changes arise.

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

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the assets is included in the income and expenditure statement in the year the asset is derecognised.

(e) Investments

A. Classification

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

(i) Held-to-maturity financial assets

Quoted debt securities are held on a long term basis and classified as held-to-maturity financial assets.

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

Held-to-maturity financial 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 financial assets

Unquoted equity securities are held on a long term basis and classified as available-for-sale financial assets.

Available-for-sale financial 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 financial assets are recognised directly in the statement of changes in funds.

When available-for-sale financial 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 financial 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 flows 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.

(f) 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.

Receivables are recognised when the Association becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

Receivables are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets 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.

(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

(h) 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.



(h) Funds (continued)

(ii) Miscellaneous Funds Miscellaneous funds comprise funds of religious and other groups affiliated with the Association and

are used solely for the furtherance of the objectives of the respective religious and other groups. (i) Payables

Payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measure at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Payables with a short duration are not discounted.

Payables are recognised when the Association becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The liabilities are derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. Gain or loss is recognised in the income and expenditure statement when the liabilities are derecognised.

(j) 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.

(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. (k) Employee Benefits

(i) Defined 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.

(l) Impairment of Assets

A. Impairment of Financial Assets

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

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred in respect of a financial 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 flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these financial 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 significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset is considered in determining whether the asset is impaired. If any such evidence exists, the cumulativeloss–measuredasthedifferencebetweentheacquisitioncostandthecurrentfairvalue, less any impairment loss on the financial asset previously recognised in the income and expenditurestatement–isremovedfromthefairvaluereserveinthestatementofchangesinfunds 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 flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.

(l) Impairment of Assets (continued)

B. Impairment of Non-financial Assets (continued)

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.

(m) 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 outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

(n) Leases

Operating Leases

Leases whereby the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item are classified 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.

13. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Association is exposed to financial risks arising from its operations and the use of financial instruments. The key financial risks are credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Management Committee reviews and agrees on policiesformanagingeachoftheserisksandtheyaresummarisedbelow:

(i) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the potential risk of financial loss resulting from the failure of customers or other counterparties to settle their financial and contractual obligations to the Association as and when they fall due. Cash and bank balances are placed with financial institutions which are regulated.

The Association’s main financial assets consist of receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Cash and bank deposits are placed with financial institutions which are regulated.

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

There are no financial assets that are past due or impaired as at the balance sheet date.

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

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Association will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to shortage of funds.

The Association monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by Management Committee to finance the Association’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

All financial liabilities of the Association are repayable on demand or mature within one year.

(iii) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Association’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

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

Information relating to the Association’s interest rate exposures is also disclosed in notes 4 and 6 to the financial statements.

Sensitivity analysis The effect of interest rate change on funds and surplus is not significant as the Association’s financial instruments

are either at fixed interest rate or are non-interest bearing as at the balance sheet date.

14. RESERVE MANAGEMENT

The primary objective of the Association’s reserve management policy is to ensure that it maintains optimal reserves in order to support its operations and the development of its principal activities. In order to maintain or achieve optimal reserves, the Association may obtain government grants and operate fund raising events.

The Association targets to maintain an optimum level of accumulated funds which is equivalent to 3 years of its budgeted operating expenditure. The Association regularly reviews and manages its accumulated funds that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfill its continuing obligations.

The Association is not subject to externally imposed reserve requirement.

There were no changes to the Association’s approach to reserve management during the year.

15. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

(i) Investments

The fair value of quoted financial assets is determined by reference to its quoted bid price at the reporting date. Thefairvalueoftheheld-to-maturityfinancialassetsis$312,000(2007:$315,000).

(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.

16. AUTHORISATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements of the Association for the year ended 31 December 2008 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Management Committee dated 15 May 2009.


The Association has complied with all the applicable guidelines of the Code of
