Heating up in Malaysia

the debate is heating up here in Malaysia. For information, Malaysia is probably one of the countries I have been too where vaping is most commonly seen in the public space. Everywhere you go, people are vaping on giant mods. We have an amazing selection of really sophisticated vape shops selling the best brands from The US and Europe as well as a cottage industry of very good local juice producers.
However, the last few days we are seeing calls for a ban and govt officials are mouthing off. Several shops have been raided (as in principle juice with nicotine is illegal). Sadly, there are claims that juice with ganja is also sold, causing extra concern in a country where weed distribution carries the death penalty.
Most amazingly, vaping has now become headline news. The attached is from the largest free newspaper. (Sorry dont know how to in-line image, but the front oage headline is Vaping Gag). Apparently all officials have now been banned from speaking out on the issue. Does anyone else know what the heck is going on?

I'm curious about this as well. The e liquid distributors were so excited to carry usa made liquids and all of a sudden emergency brakes.

Oh dear, this is unfortunate. I wonder if different states will have different rules in the future?
