Why wait to enforce ban in Sarawak?


THE Federal government’s ban on smoking in all eateries begins today in accordance with Malaysia’s commitment to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control under Article 8 of the World Health Organisation.

However, as reported and confirmed by Sarawak Local Government and Housing Minister Datuk Dr Sim Kui Hian, Sarawak will only make its stance on the ban clear after a meeting between various stakeholders and the Sarawak Health Department on Jan 9.
