Passing of GEG Bill must take precedence


I REFER to the report “Tabling of GEG Bill delayed” (The Star, Oct 10), which quoted a Health Ministry source as saying that the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Bill 2023 will not be tabled for a second reading as scheduled due to Budget 2024 and other government affairs taking precedence in Parliament.

The health of the nation and especially our future generations cannot be treated as a matter of lesser importance or priority.
