MCA WTF - MCO Cigarette sales OK, Liquor No





MCA froths over alcohol sale ban

MCA has criticised Putrajaya for enforcing a ban on alcohol sales during the two-week "total lockdown" period.

In a statement, only in Chinese, today, MCA secretary-general Choong Sin Woon said that this was an over-extension in the application of the law.

"Alcoholic beverages and soft drinks ought to be treated as essential goods according to the National Security Council rules.

"There should be no ban on such sales," he said.

He added that enforcement efforts should be conducted professionally and rationally, within the confines of the law while enforcers should not act under the influence of emotions or public opinion.

Enforcement officials in Kuala Lumpur have ordered liquor shops or departments in supermarkets to close during the "total lockdown" period.

Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Rosol Wahid defended the move, claiming that alcoholic beverages were not an "essential item".

However, he said cigarettes, which he conceded are not essential items, can be sold during this period because a ban would cause problems for addicts.

According to senior minister (security cluster) Ismail Sabri Yaakob, only liquor shops were affected by the temporary ban and that alcoholic beverages can still be purchased from convenience stores.

  1. MCA now backed into a corner. No choice but to whimper a protest. They will be ignored, so will they QUIT BN & PN....? Will Wee KHAT Siong resign as Minister or will he be like UMNO ministers?

    And What About MIC......Gerakan.....?

    4. Poetry & wine - to the Chinese, old & young, ancient & contemporary!

      中国是一个诗的国度,中国人对诗歌有 着独特的文化情结。

      中国诗歌史不仅是中华文明在语言和文字上的浓缩,也是中国人几千年精神风貌的展示。

      几千年来,中国人一直被这些 代代相传、流传至今的无限诗篇所滋养。

      所有中国人, 无论是学者和普通人, 都还有一颗不朽的“诗心”。

      酒!

      Too long to elaborate the feelings of the Chinese drinkers, ancient & contemporary!

      KT, thousands apology for posting this Chinese write.

      Sometimes, the original is the best that no any translation can imitate its true essence!

  4. Malaysia is the first country in the world to make the scientific research breakthrough showingbthat the sale of alcohol in retail shops ( not public drinking ) increases the risk of Covid-19 spread.

  7. A PAS guy I've known for years rethorically asked me, you try to put a convincing argument how an alcoholic drink is an "Essential Food"
    I asked him , how do you convince me cigarettes are "Esssential" .
    He says to him cigarettes Are essential, as he would have a very uncomfortable day without lighting up at least one.
    So , I told him , please respect that an occasional drink of whiaky does make my day better.

    The Guy is not exactly a Zombie, he's a graduate of University of New South Wales , (hahahaha), an architect by profession.

    Why are we not essential services, ask traditional medicine practitioners

    The Ministry of Health (MOH) must explain why traditional and complementary medicine (TCM) clinics are not listed under the essential services, TCM clinics said.

    They said their industry was allowed to operate under the previous two rounds of movement-control orders (MCO 1.0 and MCO 2.0) but now told to close operations in this current full lockdown from June 1 to 14.
