Hair analysis will be used to help detect drug abuse, as part of efforts to enable drug offenders to keep clear of drugs.

The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) is working with the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) to introduce hair analysis as a supplementary drug detection tool.

It can detect the presence of drugs up to three months after drug use, compared with urine testing, which has a detection window of about one week.

The move is part of CNB's aim to strengthen its enforcement and intelligence capabilities.
