Selangor Govt Recommends Urine Tests as SOP for Concert-goers to Prevent Drug Usage

According to State Local Government and Tourism Committee chairman Datuk Ng Suee Lim, the recommendation will be discussed at the state executive council meeting tomorrow, Wednesday (8th January).

Aside from the urine test, other improvements to concert SOPs to be discussed include providing scanning equipment. This is to detect and prevent prohibited materials from being brought into the venue.

Additionally, Datuk Ng said, they want to examine what cooperation can be conducted with the police and local authorities to ensure contraband is not brought into concert venues in Selangor.

“From now on, we might need to conduct urine tests as part of the SOP for visitors, and this recommendation will be brought up at the meeting so that people who abuse drugs or are taking drugs are not allowed to enter any concert venues.”
