Health groups: Table GEG Bill


PETALING JAYA: With about a month to go before the Dewan Rakyat sits, health groups are urging for the anti-smoking Bill, dubbed the Generational End Game (GEG), to be urgently tabled again so that the younger generation will not be exposed to unregulated nicotine-based products.

Malaysian Pharmacists Society president Amrahi Buang said the onus is now on the government to fulfil its promise to end tobacco usage for the younger generation through the GEG or the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Bill 2023.
