Sarawak puts smoking ban at eateries on hold

KUCHING (Bernama): The Sarawak state government is putting on hold the nationwide smoking ban at all eateries in the state pending a decision by the state Cabinet, says Sarawak Local Government and Housing Minister Datuk Dr Dim Kui Hian.

He said although the state government was with the federal government on the anti-smoking law, it had its own local government ordinances on smoking.
