Free Malaysia Today | Lawyer Edmund Bon had argued that there was a grave danger to public health, particularly children’s health, if liquid and gel nicotine were removed from control under the Poisons Act 1952. The AGC objected to the stay request on said exemption order, arguing that there were no special circumstances to justify stay proceedings and likening it to an injunction.
Malay Mail | Three CSOs failed in their application to temporarily restore vape liquid in the Poisons List until their judicial review is heard, but the High Court did agree to hear the lawsuit urgently. Lawyers K. Shanmuga, Kee Shu Min, and Evangeline Yii appeared for the three applicants.
CodeBlue | The High Court judge said that the applicants needed to demonstrate special circumstances to justify a stay of the exemption order on liquid nicotine. Three CSOs had filed a lawsuit, represented by legal counsel Edmund Bon, seeking to contest the order issued by the Health Minister, which had overridden unanimous objections from the Poisons Board regarding this declassification.
Malay Mail | The High Court granted the leave for judicial review by the Malaysian Council for Tobacco Control, the Malaysian Green Lung Association, and Voice of the Children Sdn Bhd. Lawyer Edmund Bon said the group also applied for an interim stay on the Health Minister’s order so that vape liquid and vape gel will be temporarily included back under the Poisons List until the lawsuit is heard.
CodeBlue | Health and child rights NGOs have filed for a judicial review to stop the government’s removal of liquid and gel nicotine from the Poisons List under the Poisons Act 1952. This would legalise any level of nicotine content and the sale of nicotine vape products to anyone, including underage children, due to the lack of regulation. Edmund Bon has been engaged as counsel for this case.
