The National Anti-Drugs Agency (Malay : Agensi Antidadah Kebangsaan; abbreviated as NADA or AADK) is a Malaysian government agency tasked with combatting drugs and substance abuse in Malaysia. ^[2] The agency also operates drugs rehabilitation centres throughout the country.

Management

The NADA is a section of the Ministry of Home Affairs.

While NADA often collaborates with other law enforcement agencies, it is fully capable of operating independently, akin to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

Organisation

Special Tactical Response and Investigation Key Enforcers

The Special Tactical Response and Investigation Key Enforcers (STRIKE) is an elite firearms unit within the AADK.

Established on 18 October 2016, STRIKE is tasked with executing high-risk raids, investigations, and arrests targeting drug-related offences, particularly those involving major trafficking networks and high-value targets.

Their primary mission is to dismantle drug syndicates and curb the spread of illegal substances throughout Malaysia. ^[3]
