Health Ministry launches survey on GEG policy

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 11 — The Health Ministry (KKM) has launched a survey to gather feedback and views from all Malaysians on the Generational End Game (GEG) initiative, said its minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa.

The survey is open to all Malaysians, who can participate through the MySejahtera app starting today.

The survey covers various topics, including the public’s views on the health risks of smoking, the GEG provisions, and the Control of Tobacco Products for Public Health Bill 2023.

“I encourage all Malaysians to take a few minutes to complete the survey. Everyone needs to play a role and support the government’s efforts in presenting this Bill and the GEG provision by voicing their rights through this survey and the available media channels,” she said in a statement today.

The Bill aims to ensure comprehensive regulation on all types of smoking products, including electronic cigarettes and vape, as the existing Control of Tobacco Products Regulations (CTPR) 2004 only regulates tobacco-based smoking products.
