Meet-up between senior Health Ministry officials and tobacco industry reps raises concerns, says MCTC

PETALING JAYA: A meeting between two senior officials, believed to be section heads with the Health Ministry in the Disease Control division, and representatives from the tobacco industry is worrying, says the Malaysian Council for Tobacco Control (MCTC).

MCTC, which is an anti-smoking NGO, is concerned that the meeting would hinder the government’s efforts to reduce tobacco consumption within the country.
