KUALA LUMPUR: Half of the tax proceeds collected from the sale of vape nicotine products will be channeled to the Health Ministry to treat Malaysians, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“So far, what’s decided by the government is that 50 percent of the proceeds collected from vape taxes will be returned to the Health Ministry to assist in efforts of health recovery,” said Anwar.
Anwar said that delays in regards to the Bill were due to ongoing discussions among MPs on certain provisions of the Bill. “Smoking is also not allowed in my house, as ordered by my wife,” said Anwar, where several MPs were seen smiling in response to the light moment.
