PETALING JAYA: The Consumers’ Association of Penang has called for the government to set up a royal commission of inquiry into the removal of Generational End Game components from the tobacco bill due to pressure from tobacco and vape industry players.
“We want to know why Malaysian policymakers allowed the industry to influence the outcome of the proposed GEG bill. The group also expressed its gratitude to deputy health minister Lukanisman Awang Sauni for admitting that industry players met MPs in Parliament to lobby for the exclusion of GEG components.“Unfortunately, some policymakers have been complicit in this grand scheme of things, excluding the GEG to serve the agenda of lobbyists who want to keep Malaysians addicted for generations to come so that they can profit from it.
