    I was having lunch with a colleague this afternoon and we were discussing about this issue. My colleague told me that it is quite common for adults to take this "air daun ketum" in a rural area near her village. What is very schocking is that nowadays not only youngsters have been taking this but the adults too. Sad but true and this should be stopped at once. It's sad when these irresponsible adults have become addicted to it because by right the adults have to set good examples. Serios measures have to be taken to stop this at once. Our nation is facing so many social issues already, not forgetting drug abuse, illigal racing, piracy and many more so please do not add any more problems to our nation. It was believed that people in the olden days consumed "air daun ketum" to gain more energy so that they could complete their heavy work in the paddy fields or in the estates but I personally think it is unwise of them to keep on consuming this until today. There will surely be side effects where health is concerned.Nowadays we have modern health supplements to help us cope with our heavy workload and daily routines. The adults and youngsters who have been consuming "ketum" leaves beverages should stop and by all means get some help to curb their addiction.
