The initial results of the investigation found that two MoH officials were visited by two individuals who introduced themselves as the owners of a Putrajaya bicycle company and a printing company. Dr Norhayati said that the ministry had no plans to breach Article 5.3 of the treaty which has specifically stated measures to protect public health policies from commercial and other vested interests of the tobacco industry.

In a statement, the anti-smoking council said it is worried that the meeting would hinder the government’s effort to reduce tobacco consumption within the country.
