An NGO acting on behalf of four Johor vape traders filed a lawsuit today against several government agencies for the raids conducted against vape traders.

Among others, Pertubuhan Ikatan Usahawan Kecil dan Sederhana Malaysia (Ikhlas) demanded RM1 million in aggravated and exemplary damages, and for the seized items to be returned.

Ikhlas is also seeking a court declaration that the raids and seizures conducted against its members are null and void, and that banning the sale of vape products through state-level enforcement actions are illegal.
