Tengku Zafrul says will facilitate PM’s meeting with Microsoft CEO in mission to make Malaysia Asean’s digital hubThe MPS decided to raise its concern after it was revealed that vape and tobacco industry players met the MPs in the Parliament building, which MPS president Prof Amrahi Buang said affected the legislative process, particularly the removal of the GEG clause.
“It is imperative that we adopt a transparent, evidence-based approach to policy making, where public health interests are safeguarded against industry manipulation,” he said in a statement. “Reinstating nicotine liquid into the Poisons List would align with best practices in public health and ensure comprehensive control over harmful substances,” he said.
On Thursday, during the Minister’s Question and Answer Time in Dewan Rakyat, Deputy Health Minister Lukanisman Awang Sauni disclosed that tobacco and vaping industry lobbyists had met with MPs, significantly impacting the legislative decision-making process.
