However, they caution that there must be transparency over the delay, especially when these laws have to do with public interests that require more deliberation and time.Saving lives: The GEG provision will be curbing the problem of smoking, especially among youths. — RAJA FAISAL HISHAN/The StarSaving lives: The GEG provision will be curbing the problem of smoking, especially among youths. — RAJA FAISAL HISHAN/The Star
