president’s message - towards a drug-free singapore annual report 2011.pdf49 mr manuel linus...

Front Cover:

The cover design reflects the efforts behind the programmes guiding youths against using drugs, counselling recovering addicts against re-offending and working with clients and their families to prevent inter-generational offending.

The design also captures the contributions by SANA’s pool of volunteers, donors and supporters which help to sustain our on-going programmes. The ‘S’ shape represents SANA and the difficult path to recovery. The journey to rehabilitation and reintegration is guided by strong mentoring and family and peer support.

[Singapore Polytechnic intern with SANA, Heizeline Magsombol, assisted in conceptualising the design.]

prESidENT’S mESSagEWe are continuing our effortto protect our cit izens, inparticular our youth, againstthemenaceofdrugaddiction.The statistics from theCnB in2011 were not encouraging.The number of drug abusersarrestedhasincreasedinrecentyearsand,moredisturbing,thenumberofnewabusersbelowtheageof 20has alsogrown.

In our 2009 Annual Report we had raised concernsabout a “worrying rising trendworldwideof youngdrugabusers” to explain why our outreach to children andyouth remained a key focus in our preventive strategyon drug abuse. I am glad to report that our anti-drugprogrammes foryoungpeoplesuchas theAspireCamp,whichtargetsprimaryschoolchildrenatrisk,andtheAntiDrugand InhalantAbuseBadgeScheme,which reachesouttostudents insecondaryschools,aredoingwell.Theone-dayAspireCamps,whichwestartedin2007,saw525students from 15 primary schools participating in 2011.Theanti-drugmessagewasputtotheyoungparticipantsinanengagingway,combinedwithteamandconfidence-building activities. TheBadgeScheme reacheda largernumber of young people with a total number of 7,549studentsparticipatingand that eachhas topasson theanti-drugmessagetofiveotherstudents.Gettingoutthemessage of the danger of drug abuse to school-goingchildren is not aneasy taskgiven the competing inputsthey receive from theopenandexcitingmediaworldoftoday.SAnAhasalwaysbeenlookingatnewwaystoputourmessagesacross to theyoungandwemustgivethispriorityinourstrategicpreventiveeducationplan.

2011 was a year of some restructuring in SAnA. Wehavere-vampedtheset-upof theReligiousAffiliates, thevolunteersfromreligiousorganisationswhoprovideddrugprevention related activities including in-care religiouscounselling.The formerReligiousAffiliates can continuetooperateindependentlybutthosegroupsandvolunteerswho chose to remain with SAnA will form a sub-groupcalled the Religious Group of Volunteers. The new set-up is in keeping with the requirementsof the CharitiesRegulations2007underwhichwefunction.IwouldliketoexpressmyappreciationforthefineworkthattheReligiousAffiliates have done and the invaluable contributionsthey have made to the cause of drug prevention anderadication. Wehope to continue toworkwith them intheir newanti-drugorganisations. The restructuringalsoincludedare-vampoftheDAPCs(DrugAbusePreventionCommittees) in the variousparliamentary constituencies.The objective was to re-group the 18 DAPCs into sixclusters for increasedeffectiveness througha sharingofresourcesandmanpower.

Thecentre-pieceof the initiativesweundertook in2010-11 in theareaofPost-Aftercare forour clientshas tobethe ‘Gotong-Royong’ Community Event or the GRCEproject.TheprojectcanbesaidtobeanendproductofvariouseffortswehavemadeundertheFamilyEnrichmentProgramme (FEP) over the past few years to developa more holistic approach in aftercare treatment for ourclients. ‘Gotong-Royong’isasomewhatmoreambitiousproject in that it is a two-day one-night event held in arusticsettingattheFamilyLearningCentreinSembawangtocreateanidealenvironmentforfamilybondingbetweenclientsandtheirfamilies.StartinginMarch2011withnineclientsand their familiesandclose family friends totaling28,theprojectheldfourgatheringsbytheendoftheyearreachingout toover 70which includedclients and theirfamilies.Besides thisproject,otherPost-Aftercareeventsand workshops were organised to inculcate financialmanagement skills and to promote family bonding,drawingmorethan200clientsandtheirfamiliesinall.

2011wasalsoanactiveyear forSAnAinreachingouttothemedia. Media-engagement is an importantexerciseincreatingpublicawarenessaboutSAnAanddevelopingtheir support for what we do. Our SAnA counsellorsand clients participated in radio andTV talk shows andpress interviews to inform the public of developmentsin thedrug scene and the fight againstdrug addiction.SAnA also continued to reach out to other groupsand institutions either in recruiting their assistance inSAnA projects or joining them in networking sessions.We enlisted the assistance of nanyang Polytechnic todevelop a database management information systemforourAftercareworkwith clientson aprobonobasis.Andourprogrammes, such as theFEP/GotongRoyongeventsortheAspireCampandthegrantofstudyawardsfor theparticipants, aremademoreeffectivebecauseofassistance from generous donors such as Mr Peter LimfromKestrel, theKwan ImThongHoodChoTempleandPCSSecurity.Our thanks also toBeyondSocial Serviceswhich allowed us to use their premises in Sembawangfor the ‘Gotong- Royong’ gatherings. If we had anevent-filled year in 2011, it was due to all the supportwe received fromourpartners, sponsors, donors, andmembers in theSAnABoardwhogave valuable adviceandhelpedraisefundsforparticularevents,andfromouruntiringvolunteers.

Grouping of DAPCs

In December 2011, the 18 DAPCs wereregrouped into six clusters in order toachieve greater efficiency through sharedresourcesandmanpowerandgivingmorebite to their preventive drug outreacheffortsontheground.

Under the restructure, each cluster nowcomprises two to four DAPCs that are inclose proximity or belong to the sameGRC, thus allowing them to pool andleverageon their collective resource. Thisgives the DAPCs a greater role in ourpreventive work, namely preventive drugeducation outreach at the community /grassrootslevel.

Tampines GRC MPs Mr Mah Bow Tan and Ms Irene Ng were among five MPs at the walkabout in February 2011.


Call Statistics in 2011

Community reintegration programme (Coping Skills)

Ms Meera Ramachandran, a CRP volunteer, shares her experiences Volunteering with CRP at Kaki Bukit Prison School / Tanah Merah Prison

“Volunteering with CRP gives me the opportunity to change lives, including my own. I like to support a cause and I cannot afford to donate money, so I donate my time instead. It makes me feel great to be empowered to change things and lives for the better.

Another advantage in volunteering is I get the chance to immerse myself in the activities. And I feel a real sense of achievement when I see the results, for example, when I see or hear that the boys I had counseled are achieving results and improving their lives.

Volunteering with CRP also teaches me new skills, whether working alone or with a team to deliver an entire programme. It gives me the chance to discover the things I am good at and helps me to shape my ideas about my career goals as a Volunteer and a Case Worker / Social Worker.

I get a sense of responsibility because people depend on me. When people depend on me, it changes the way I look at myself and feel proud of the goals I have achieved for SANA and myself.

Volunteering at Kaki Bukit Prison School and the Tanah Merah Prison has allowed me to focus on others and to realise that my involvement in the inmates’ world is meaningful.”

All these could not have been achieved without theforesight of SAnA’s Management and the teamworkandmotivationfromourclientsandfamilies.


PAC continually strives to improve the GRCE

programme by listening to and acting on feedback.

Here is the remark made by a volunteer.

“Pot Luck was a jackpot idea. On 2nd September I was

around Towner Road and I heard a familiar voice of a child.

I turned around and noticed Zul’s wife and his daughter.

They did not see me. They were busy talking about buying

groceries and were rushing to meet Zul because the girl kept

asking where the father was waiting. Only on the following

day did I realise they were preparing the pot luck for the

BBQ.

“The thinking process of the event had already started in

their home many days ahead. The time spent in planning and

preparing the menu, marketing, costing, leave application

from work and so on. The planning process and the

involvement not only enhance family bonding but also trigger

the family to take ownership of the assigned responsibility.

At the BBQ we congratulated Zul for the delicious chicken.

He quickly introduced his wife and said that the credit was

hers. She shyly acknowledged the compliment and shared her

recipe with us…”

media Engagement

SANA organised a media briefing on 17 November 2011, the day before the SANA Volunteer & Donor Appreciation Nite. Journalists from the newspaper and broadcast networks turned up in full force resulting in extensive coverage of SANA’s programmes, in particular the Gotong-Royong project under the Post-Aftercare Rehabilitation.

SANA’s Senior Manager Steven Tham was interviewed by Mediacorp for its edutainment segment. The series of webisodes targets youths and highlights the dangers of drug and inhalant abuse.

Tamil Murasu also featured the families of our clients.

Executive Director Lim Poh Quee was interviewed by Channel News Asia on 23 September 2011 on the setting up of the Taskforce on Drugs. Among other factors in preventing youths from experimenting with drugs, Mr Lim cited the importance of a concerted effort involving government agencies, schools and parents.

Our client, Zulkhairee, is seen here at preliminary interviews with a researcher/reporter for Channel 5’s successful docu-drama Confessions of a Crime. The programme featuring Zulkhairee was aired in January 2011. The series features real life stories of people who by circumstances find themselves in a life of crime that they had never bargained for, and serves as a cautionary tale.

In our opinion, the financial statements set out on pages 37 to 52 are properly drawn up in accordance with

Singapore Financial Reporting Standards so as to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of Singapore

Anti-Narcotics Association (the “Association”) as at 31 December 2011 and the results, changes in funds and

cash flows of the Association for the year ended on that date.

The Management Committee has on the date of this statement, authorised these financial statements for

Financial

Report

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (the

“Association”) set out on pages 37 to 52, which comprise the balance sheet (statement of financial position) as at

31 December 2011, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in funds and statement

of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory

information.

Management Committee’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Association’s Management Committee is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give

a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Charities Act, Chapter 37 and Singapore Financial

Reporting Standards, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to

provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and

transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and

fair statements of comprehensive income and balance sheets and to maintain accountability of assets.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted

our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with

ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial

statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the

financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of

the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk

assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation of financial statements that

give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for

the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal controls. An audit also includes

evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made

by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit

opinion.

The following notes form an integral part of the financial statements.

1. GENERAL

The Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (the “Association”) is registered as a society (Registration No. S72SS0018H) under the Societies Act, Chapter 311. The Association is also registered as a charity (Registration No. 00039) under the Charities Act, Chapter 37. The Association is approved as an institution of public character by the National Council of Social Service.

The Association’s registered office is at 2 Sengkang Square, #05-01 Sengkang Community Hub, Singapore 545025.

The principal activities of the Association are to conduct preventive education programmes against drug and inhalant abuse, to provide religious and social counselling for the inmates in the drug rehabilitation centres and aftercare assistance for those released from these centres on supervision.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation The Association presents its financial statements in Singapore dollars, which is also its functional

currency. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except as

disclosed in the accounting policies below, and comply with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS), including related Interpretations promulgated by the Accounting Standards Council.

During the financial year, the Association adopted all the applicable revised FRSs which are effective

on or before 1 January 2011. The adoption of these new/revised FRSs did not have any material effect on the Association’s financial

statements and did not result in substantial changes to the Association’s accounting policies. (b) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgments are made in the preparation of the

financial statements. They affect the application of the Association’s accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an ongoing basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Notes to the Financial Statements – 31 December 2011


Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Asset

The costs, less the residual values, of property, plant and equipment and intangible asset are depreciated/amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management Committee’s estimates of the useful lives of these assets are disclosed in notes 2(d) and 2(e). Changes in the expected usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and

the residual values of these assets. Therefore, future depreciation/amortisation charges could be revised. The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and intangible asset, as well as the depreciation/amortisation charge for the year are disclosed in notes 3 and 4.

(c) FRS and INT FRS not yet effective The Association has not applied any new FRS or INT FRS that has been issued as at the balance sheet

date but is not yet effective. The Management Committee does not anticipate the adoption of the new FRS and INT FRS in future financial periods to have any material impact on the Association’s financial statements in the period of initial application.

(d) Property, Plant and Equipment All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of

property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Association and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss,

if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight line basis so as to write off the cost, less the residual value,

of the assets over their estimated useful lives. The annual rates of depreciation are as follows:

Furniture and fittings 3 years Office equipment 3 years The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are

reviewed and adjusted as appropriate, at each financial year-end. The effects of any revision are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when changes arise.

Fully depreciated assets are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic

benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the assets is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the year the asset is derecognised.

(e) Intangible Asset Intangible assets are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of intangible assets is recognised as

an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Association and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets with finite useful life are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment

loss, if any. Intangible assets are amortised over their expected useful lives of 3 years on a straight line basis.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(b) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued)


The amortisation period and amortisation method of intangible assets are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate, at each financial year-end.

Intangible assets are derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected

from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the assets is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

(f) Receivables Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using

the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. Receivables with a short duration are not discounted.

Receivables are recognised when the right to receive cash flows has been established. Receivables are derecognised when the right to receive cash flows has expired or has been

transferred. When there is objective evidence that the Association will not be able to collect all amounts due

according to the original terms of the receivables, an impairment loss is recognised. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying value of the receivable and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced directly or through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can

be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss shall be reversed either directly or by adjusting an allowance account. The amount of the reversal shall be recognised in profit or loss.

(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, cash at bank and bank deposits with financial

institutions which are subject to insignificant risks of changes in value. Cash equivalents are stated at amounts at which they are convertible into cash.

(h) Funds (i) Accumulated Funds

Accumulated funds are distributable funds intended for general use of the Association.

(ii) Miscellaneous Funds

Miscellaneous funds comprise funds of religious and other groups affiliated with the Association and are used solely for the furtherance of the objectives of the Association through the activities carried out jointly with the respective religious and other groups.

(i) Payables Payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the

effective interest method. Payables with a short duration are not discounted.


(e) Intangible Asset (continued)


(j) Revenue Recognition (i) Donations and Fund Raising Income

Provided there is evidence of entitlement, as expressed in writing, donations and income from fund raising events are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period of receipt or when they become receivable.

(ii) Government Grants

Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the conditions attached to the grants will be complied with. Where the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised in statement of comprehensive income over the period necessary to match them on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.

Government grants relating to the purchase of assets are deducted against the carrying amount of the assets.

(iii) Interest Income

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis, using the effective interest method, unless collectibility is in doubt.

(iv) Others

All other income are recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

(k) Employee Benefits (i) Defined Contribution Plans

The Association makes contributions to the state provident fund (Central Provident Fund). Such contributions are recognised as compensation expenses in the same period as the employment that gave rise to the contributions.

(ii) Short-term Compensated Absences

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for employee entitlements to annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.

(l) Impairment of Non-financial Assets

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and its value in use. The value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.



An impairment loss on a non-revalued asset is recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss on a revalued asset is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same asset. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount or when there is an indication that the impairment loss recognised for the asset no longer exists or decreases. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(m) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Association has a present legal or constructive obligations as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

(n) Leases

Operating Leases

Leases whereby the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item are classified as operating leases.

When the Association is the lessee, operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the lease term.

14. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Association is exposed to financial risks arising from its operations and the use of financial instruments. The key financial risks are credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Management Committee reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below:

(i) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the potential risk of financial loss resulting from the failure of the counterparties to settle their financial and contractual obligations to the Association as and when they fall due.

The Association’s main financial assets consist of receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Cash and bank deposits are placed with financial institutions which are regulated.

Management Committee monitors the Association’s exposure to credit risks on an ongoing basis.

There are no financial assets that are past due or impaired as at the balance sheet date.

As at the balance sheet date, there was no significant concentration of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset.


14. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(ii) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Association will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to shortage of funds.

The Association monitors its liquidity risk by maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by Management Committee to finance the Association’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

All financial liabilities of the Association are repayable on demand or mature within one year. (iii) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Association’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The Association’s exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from its interest-earning financial assets. The Association constantly monitors movements in interest rates to ensure deposits are placed with financial institutions offering optimal rates of return.

Information relating to the Association’s interest rate exposures is also disclosed in note 6.

Sensitivity analysis

The effect of interest rate change on funds and surplus/deficit is not significant as the Association’s financial instruments are either at fixed interest rate or are non-interest bearing as at the balance sheet date.

15. RESERVE MANAGEMENT The primary objective of the Association’s reserve management policy is to ensure that it maintains optimal

reserves in order to support its operations and the development of its principal activities.

The Association monitors its cash flow and overall liquidity position on a continuous basis, taking into consideration the prevailing and projected operating income and expenditure, and other financial obligations, including projected capital expenditure.

The Association is not subject to externally imposed reserve requirement.

There were no changes to the Association’s approach to reserve management during the year.

16. AUTHORISATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of the Association for the year ended 31 December 2011 were approved by the

Management Committee on 20 April 2012.

Back Cover:

MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD’S LIFE ISN’T OVER, BEFORE IT’S EVEN BEGUN.

Abusing drugs while pregnant is extremely dangerous to both the mother and child. To communicate the debilitating effects of drugs on prenatal development, we used images of unborn foetuses looking like elderly people. These stirring ads reinforce our message that a pregnant drug abuser risks ending her child’s life before it even begins.

The poster is one of a series of three created pro-bono for SANA by Lowe Singapore, an international advertising firm.
