Why delay briefing on GEG Bill, medical group asks

PETALING JAYA: The postponement of a briefing session regarding the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Bill 2023 for MPS has raised doubts, says a medical experts group.

In June last year, then health minister Khairy Jamaluddin attempted to address the issue of smoking and vaping among youths by introducing the Control of Tobacco Product and Smoking Bill 2022, or the generational end game Bill.However, there was opposition to the proposed law during the first and second readings of the Bill made on July 27 and Aug 1 last year.
