Indonesia's anti-narcotics chief has called for the country to imitate the brutal war on drugs launched by Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.

Budi Waseso praised Mr Duterte and said drug dealers' lives were "meaningless".

Hundreds of alleged dealers have been killed in the Philippines since Mr Duterte allowed to police to shoot them on sight.

Mr Duterte, nicknamed "The Punisher", has been condemned by the United Nations for his approach against crime.

President Joko Widodo is hosting Mr Duterte in Jakarta later this week, where discussions on how to tackle the drugs trade will be high on the agenda.

Maybe all of the Southeast Asian countries should go on an all out war on drugs.
