Uncertainty over smoking ban


Signs of the time: Operators are still confused as to whether signs should be a sticker or made of plastic.

PETALING JAYA: It is over a month since the Health Ministry’s no-smoking ban kicked off on Jan 1, but there is still uncertainty over some of the nitty-gritty involved. Malaysia Singapore Coffeeshop Proprietors’ General Association president Datuk Ho Su Mong said many of his members were confused about the signs for display, saying there was no clear information available.

“There is no precise explanation given to us on the types of signs we must use. Some members complained that local Health Depart­ment officers were giving different directives or interpretation,” he said when contacted yesterday.
