Consumer group urges govt to set up RCI over GEG lobbying revelation

PETALING JAYA: The government should set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on the recent revelation that tobacco and vape industry players had lobbied MPs to exclude the generational endgame (GEG) component of the tobacco control Bill in Parliament, says the Consumers Association of Penang (CAP).

CAP said this clearly showed that the tobacco and vape industry had violated the World Health Organisation (WHO) Framework Convention for Tobacco Control.
