KOTA Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong, reprimanded several MPs in the Dewan Rakyat today for smoking in the parliament building, which is a no-smoking zone. Khoo, in a supplementary question to Deputy Health Minister Lukanisman Awang Sauni, said his ministry has undertaken many efforts and campaigns with regard to the issue, but MPs are still smoking in the parliament building.
“The parliament building is a no-smoking zone, yet we see many people smoking in the whips’ room. I feel we need to set an example as the people’s representatives,” Khoo said during Ministers’ Question Time today. “What is the deputy minister’s view on efforts we should take against these smokers, to educate them that if they want to smoke, they should go outside and not inconvenience others?” he asked.“If you want to smoke, go to the designated smoking areas, don’t do it in the nearby offices and parliament areas,” he said, adding that complaints can be made via WhatsApp at 010-860 8949. – Bernama, March 2, 2023.
