PUTRAJAYA: There is optimism within the Health Ministry that the Tobacco Control Bill – known as the “generational end game” (GEG) law – will be able to see the light of day in the next Parliament session.

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said the game-changing Bill has to be tabled in the October parliamentary session by hook or by crook, as it is tied to a motion that he had tabled in the last Dewan Rakyat sitting.

Khairy was asked if there was a chance the tabling of the GEG Bill could be scuppered if Parliament was dissolved abruptly. After two days of fierce debates on the GEG Bill in August, Khairy decided to send the Bill to a vote and instead refer it to a PSSC to be fine-tuned. The minister said most issues on the Bill have been sorted out within the PSSC and expressed optimism that it will receive support in the Dewan Rakyat.
