KUALA LUMPUR, June 30 — There have been many arguments for and against the government’s ambitious Control of Tobacco Product and Smoking Bill 2023, which was tabled in Parliament last Wednesday.
But lawyers contacted by Malay Mail said there is a glaring flaw in the Generational End Game Bill — GEG for short — which runs counter to two constitutional guarantees for all residents in the country: equality before the law, and personal freedom.
Muhammad Haziq Abdul Aziz, Nizam Bashir Abdul Kariem Bashir, and Fahri Azzat all said legislating GEG opens it to challenge in court on grounds of discrimination.
