Regarding the finding of candy snacks containing drugs, a number of people are worried, such as the Pekanbaru legislature. The Council asked the Police, Disperindag, BPOM and other related agencies to act immediately and go to the field to ensure that the snacks for children suspected of containing drugs were not circulating in Pekanbaru City.
 
"This is what worries us and the public, so it must be anticipated as soon as possible, so that it does not enter our area. For that the police have been able to move down to the field to ensure that pacifiers suspected of containing drugs are not circulating in Pekanbaru, trace every trader and producer, " said Member of Commission II DPRD Pekanbaru City, Roem Diani Dewi, Friday (10/3).
 
This PKS politician said that if the candy case which was indicated to contain drugs was true, then the police were asked to be firm and enforce the existing rules. "Don't let the goods have been circulated before taking action, because in some stalls it seems that they are already circulating, and we will see for ourselves," said Roem.
 
In addition, said Roem, if it is proven that it is true and positive for containing drugs, law enforcement authorities are asked to be firm and give appropriate punishment to the food distributor or supplier.
 
"It is the perpetrators of this crime who need to be dealt with. It is clear that this is damaging the nation's generation by incorporating harmful substances into snacks, especially for children," said Roem.
 
Furthermore, Roem also hopes that, as a form of anticipation, the government, be it BPOM, Diskes, and schools need to work together to disseminate information to students about the dangers of drugs.
 
"We hope that students are given an understanding of the dangers of this drug, especially if it is packaged in an attractive form like the alleged pacifier containing drugs, it is very difficult to be recognized by the public, especially children. I think the school also plays a role and should not allow traffickers roaming outside schools whose health and safety are not guaranteed," explained Roem.
 
The finding of pacifiers suspected of containing drugs is reportedly being traded in a number of elementary schools and kindergartens (TK) in the city of Surabaya, even to confirm the case, the Surabaya East Java government and other related parties such as the BPOM are reportedly conducting an investigation.
