Putra Jaya: The Small and Medium Entrepreneurs Association of Malaysia (Ikhlas) wants a special committee to be set up at the Cabinet ministers' level to address the issue of electronic cigarettes or vape.
Its President Mohd Ridzuan Abdullah said the special committee should comprise Ikhlas representatives and vape entrepreneurs so that their views could be heard and understood by all parties.
He said a memorandum would be submitted to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in the near future on the proposed establishment of the special committee.
"Issues related to the vape should be given attention because currently over 70 per cent of the vape entrepreneurs have gone bankrupt as they could not operate in the country," he said in a media conference in Puchong near here.
According to Mohd Ridzuan, the vape industry generated almost RM2.8 billion besides producing many entrepreneurs that produced liquids of various flavours for vape last year.
However, the number is expected to decrease due to various issues faced by vape entrepreneurs in several states and they were now turning to vape liquid export activities for the overseas market, he added. – Bernama
