GEG bill to be tabled tomorrow, says KJ

 

The Generational End Game bill seeks to ban the use, possession and sale of cigarettes and vape products to those born after 2007.

PETALING JAYA: The Generational End Game (GEG) bill will be tabled in the Dewan Rakyat tomorrow, says health minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

He told a press conference that the parliamentary select committee (PSC) tasked with going through the bill has approved amendments made to the legislation, paving the way for its tabling tomorrow.

“Since it has been approved at the PSC level, we hope that those in the committee will inform their own party members that all concerns related to the bill have been addressed,” he said.

Khairy also predicted that the bill will be passed by the Dewan Rakyat either on Thursday or after Budget 2023 has been tabled.

“As with all other bills that do not make it to the Dewan Negara if Parliament gets dissolved, it will also need to be tabled again by the new government,” he said.

The Generational End Game bill seeks to ban the use, possession and sale of cigarettes and vape products to those born after 2007.
