THE Malaysian Integrated Medical Professionals Association (Mimpa) welcomes the new year with open arms and with high hopes that it will bring lots of joy, opportunities and a breath of fresh air. And by fresh air, Mimpa is very hopeful that this year, Malaysians will finally enjoy cleaner air while having their meals at eateries with their families and friends.
After a year of campaigning and educating the public, the Malaysian Health Ministry has decided to take the smoking ban in eateries and public spaces up another level.
