in the Federated Malay States and the conditions under which the drugs may be imported, sold, or administered are identical with those obtaining in the Straits Settlements under the Deleterious Drugs Ordinance 1907.
Of the other "Malay States under British protection, Kedah and Perlis prohibit, under an enactment passed in 1910, the importation of drugs without the written permission of the head of the State Council.
In Hong Kong the restrictions on morphine traffic are more rigid than those imposed on traffic in cocaine or other deleterious drugs. Until 1909 the law in force was the Morphine Ordinance of 1893 which prohibited injection of morphine by unqualified persons.
Under the Opium Ordinance 1909, morphine, which includes morphine and all salts of morphine and preparations containing morphine or its salts may only be imported, sold or dealt in by persons licensed by the Principal Civil Medical Officer. The regulations made under the Ordinance forbid licensed persons to supply more than 12 "official" doses at a time or to have in possession more than 5 lbs of morphine at a time without the permission of the Principal Civil Medical Officer.
Importers before taking delivery must declare the nature and amount of the drug imported. These regulations have also been applied to cocaine; but the provisions of the Ordinance as to the importation of morphine do not apply to cocaine.
Under the Opium Ordinance and various Government notifications issued in accordance with its provisions during 1910 and 1911, the export of morphine and compounds of opium has been rigidly restricted. Export to Siam and Netherlands Indies is only permitted on production of an official certificate from the country concerned that the morphine or compound of opium is required for the use of Government.
Exportation to Macao can only be permitted on production of a Government certificate that it is required for medical use in Macao or for re-export to a country to which it may lawfully be exported.
