THE Confederation of Malaysian Tobacco Manufacturers (CMTM) refutes suggestions that the largest drop in the history of illegal cigarettes in Malaysia of 6.6% from 38.9% in 2013 to 32.3%, as recorded by the Illicit Cigarette Study (ICS) 2014 by Nielsen, was due to the deployment of SICPA products on cigarette packs in Malaysia.
CMTM feels that the recent large decline can be attributed to the concerted and enhanced efforts by enforcement agencies, primarily the Royal Malaysian Customs.
