PETALING JAYA: While the delay in tabling Bills is at times inevitable, the government must commit to its pledge for these laws, especially those related to promised reforms, to be presented to Parliament, say policy experts.

However, they caution that there must be transparency over the delay, especially when these laws have to do with public interests that require more deliberation and time.Saving lives: The GEG provision will be curbing the problem of smoking, especially among youths. — RAJA FAISAL HISHAN/The StarSaving lives: The GEG provision will be curbing the problem of smoking, especially among youths. — RAJA FAISAL HISHAN/The Star
