Newly-minted Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa is hoping to fine-tune the Generational End Game Bill before the Dewan Rakyat sits for the first time next year. We revisit an interview with Dr Kelvin Yii, who was part of the Parliamentary Special Select Committee looking at the bill, to see what the concerns were at the time. Then, we check in with a public health specialist to explore what kind of finessing is needed to make the bill effective.
