Yangon Drugs Elimination Museum
- Yangon Drugs Elimination Museum
The Drug Elimination Museum was opened with ceremony on June 26 2001. It is located at the corner of Kyundaw Road and Hanthawady Road in Kamayut Township, Yangon in Burma. It is deciated to the International day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
The Museum will go down in history as a concrete landmark by truly reflecting the history of Myanmar's concerted national efforts to combat narcotic drugs in the country.
Moreover, the Museum will record and show vividly how opium and opium cultivation was introduced into the nation by colonialists, how the acts of unscrupulous elements who, with political motives, exacerbated the situation and how, under the guidance of the successive Governments, the people of Myanmar have been fighting continuously with a view to permanently eradicating the dark shadow of narcotic drugs with great sacrifice including loss of life and limbs. All these historical facts will be preserved in the exhibits in the Museum.
