PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry's decision to refer the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Bill 2023 to a Parliamentary Special Select Committee (PSSC) once again has raised doubts over the passing of the Bill in the current parliamentary session, says the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA).

Its president Dr Muruga Raj Rajathurai said MMA was disappointed with the Health Ministry for its sudden decision to delay the tabling of the Bill.
