It was cowardly and irresponsible, says Khairy


PETALING JAYA: Former health minister Khairy Jamaluddin (pic) says he has finally been proven right while those in the medical profession expressed shock and are demanding an explanation after it was revealed that Big Tobacco and the vape industry had influenced ministers and MPs.

Khairy said he knew all along about the lobbying but had nonetheless tried to implement the Generational Endgame (GEG). He said he now felt vindicated after Deputy Health Minister Datuk Lukanisman Awang Sauni confirmed in Parliament the tobacco and vape industries were behind the snuffing out of the GEG.
