[KiniNews] National Unity Minister Aaron Ago Dagang has once again shied away from addressing disunity in the nation, amid rising inter-ethnic tensions over the “Allah” socks controversy.
Asked to comment on the matter, he declined to respond.
Meanwhile, in a separate story, Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad today said the tobacco and vape generational endgame (GEG) provisions were snuffed out from a law to control smoking solely due to constitutional issues, not influence from lobbyists.
This comes after his deputy minister Lukanisman Awang Sauni revealed to the Dewan Rakyat last week that industry representatives had met directly with MPs ahead of the bill’s debates, allegedly swaying their views against the endgame measure aimed at creating a smoke-free future generation.
Referring to Lukanisman’s statement, Dzulkefly said the former’s speech was “factually wrong”.
