SHAH ALAM: Wanting public health issues to be addressed at all times as opposed to only when a pandemic or a medical crisis occurs, the Selangor government has set up the Selangor Public Health Advisory Council (Selphac).

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, who launched Selphac on Tuesday (June 7), said the council would overlook all matters related to public health.
