KUALA LUMPUR – Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will postpone its prohibition on liquor sales at grocery, convenience and Chinese medicine stores to October 31.
The move was initially slated to take effect tomorrow.
In a statement today, the DBKL media unit said the postponement is to allow for a study on controlling liquor sales in the federal capital to be finalised.
“The ease of accessibility to liquor has been the subject of complaints and protests because it has endangered public safety.
“At the moment, grocery stores, convenience stores and Chinese medicine stores are allowed to sell liquor until October 31, 2021.”
The ban is part of DBKL’s guidelines on liquor that came into force on November 15 last year. – The Vibes, September 30, 2021

Dr Wee: Traditional medicine shops should not be banned from selling alcohol

KUALA LUMPUR: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) shops should not be banned from selling alcohol, says MCA deputy president Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong.
“The Selangor state government is duty-bound to explain why they are doing this,” said Dr Wee during a press conference on Thursday.
According to a Chinese news report, TCM shop owners in Petaling District had earlier this month received orders to stop selling alcohol.
Dr Wee went on to question why DAP was staying silent on the matter.
“When the Malacca state government proposed to ban the sale of alcohol at convenience stores, DAP made a big issue over it.
“Why aren’t they saying anything about it now?” he queried.
Dr Wee further noted that TCM shops had been selling alcohol for decades, with the shops’ predominantly Chinese customers using it for health reasons.
“When my grandmother was alive, she would take one small cup of alcohol every day. She was never hospitalised and lived to the age of 89,” he said.
Dr Wee added that the proposed ban would affect the livelihoods of traders

If Muslims insist Sharia laws affects Muslims only, non-Muslims don't need to worry, then why they need to interfere medicinal alcohol sales in TCM shops which Muslims don't patronise anyway?
