“So far, there has been multiple support for the Bill including from Health NGOs and in fact, there were multiple statements urging the MPs to not oppose the Bill.He added that the Bill was not only for the generational endgame but also to regulate the vaping industry, something that vapers have been waiting for 10 years.
He added that he would be explaining these facts to the Cabinet and hoped the Bill would not be delayed. Khairy was speaking to the media after launching the Hematogenix, the first central oncology laboratory in Malaysia, here, on Friday .
