in 1995. Therefore, the Malaysian Government is on solid scientific, political and religious territory to fight smoking by reducing the public space available for smokers.The decision to allocate tax Ringgit to build smoking areas is wrong for several reasons. Firstly, our Government must not enable and normalize smoking behaviour, especially in children.
These fines are consistent with our philosophy of prescribing fines for various acts that harm the public and our health, such as speeding violations and not wearing helmets.To overturn the decision to allocate RM1 million to build smoking areas, and to direct local councils and municipal councils not to use public funds to build any smoking areas.To channel the RM 1 million from the Housing and Local Government Ministry to smoking cessation programs in primary care clinics throughout Malaysia.
