Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa told the Lower House that this was important to ensure check and balance.
Prior to this, at the media briefing held on June 6, she said that the ministry had incorporated all 23 proposed Amendments and added five new suggestions to the Bill, making it more comprehensive as it covers not only conventional smoking products but also new ones, including electronic and combustible ones.
However, she said the Bill still retained the generational end game provision, affecting those born on Jan 1, 2007 and after. The GEG provision will curb the problem of smoking, especially among the youth, which is the main contributor to the country’s economy, and save 2.07 million lives, she said. According to Dr Zaliha, the new Bill is based on the concept of a win-win solution that navigates differences through collaborative compromise and the findings of recent studies.
