Stub out further delays


PETALING JAYA: Public health groups want faster scrutiny of the Control of Tobacco Product and Smoking Bill by the Parliamentary Special Select Commission (PSSC) so that it is approved before GE15 is called.

“We hope the PSSC will work fast on the Bill to fine-tune the Bill and the minister will be able to cement the process to ensure the work done is not scuttled if the 15th General Elections happens earlier,” said Malaysian Medical Association president Dr Koh Kar Chai.
