Malaysia like the 'Wild West' for vapes, says Khairy

By LO TERN CHERN

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is like the Wild West for vape products as there are no laws governing its sale and use, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

"There were enforcement issues before, but we regularly acted against vape sales – especially to minors – and vape products could not be advertised. It's now the Wild West in Malaysia as there is no enforcement because there are no laws against vapes," said the former health minister.
