PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional’s Taman Medan candidate Dr Afif Bahardin has called for more engagement between Putrajaya and stakeholders over the introduction of the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Bill 2023, also known as the Generational Endgame (GEG) Bill.
Afif said such engagement was vital for the successful implementation of the law, without which it “would just remain as law on paper” sans support and voluntary implementation by the community.
“This is where the approach should be different from the way the health ministry is going about it at the moment. It’s just not enough, more (engagement) needs to be done before such policies are introduced,” he told reporters at Tingkap Cafe here.
