AGC's legal opinion on GEG Bill consistent since 2022


KUALA LUMPUR: Since 2022, the Attorney General's Chambers has been consistent in its legal opinion that the 'generational end-game' or GEG provisions in the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Bill can be challenged in court.

The AGC in a statement on Saturday (Nov 18) said this was because the provisions contradicted Article 8 of the Federal Constitution.
