Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is pushing for a smoking ban at indoor facilities, including restaurants, in the next three years after banning smoking on 141 walkways in the city as it pushes for KL to become a top 20 liveable city by 2020.

Currently, restaurants without air-conditioning are not subject to this ban.
