The sale of alcohol will be outlined under a “code of practice” <\/a>says Selangor government. I remember the hot topic when it was proposed by PAS November last year<\/a>. At that time, so condemned the proposal to limit the sale of alcohol in Selangor. I agreed with the proposal, and I still agree with it. Remember samsu with Santa Claus<\/a>?<\/p>\n

I reiterate that a proper, full blown campaign on the ills of alcohol to youths, women and the underaged to be started together with such code of practice.<\/p>\n

While I mentioned about Malay girls being drunk and hitting my friend’s car\u00a0 in previous posting, this time I like to mention about private university students. Those living in Pulau Meranti may want to comment on the antics of LKW students near the shoplots and apartments.<\/p>\n

The Selangor government will outline a \u201ccode of practice\u201d on the retail sale of alcohol, said state local government, study and research committee chairman Ronnie Liu.<\/p>\n

He said the government would be holding an open discussion Thursday with food and beverage outlet operators, non-governmental organisations and religious departments to discuss the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope to come out with guidelines that are clear, practical and reasonable, on the sale of alcohol,\u201d he told a press conference after the weekly state executive council meeting here Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Liu said he had received many complaints over the last few months that alcoholic beverages had been restricted by certain municipalities under their by-laws.<\/p>\n

He described as \u201cbaseless\u201d claims that there was a ban on the sale of alcohol in the state.<\/p>\n

Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said there were two main arguments on the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome argue that alcohol should be allowed to be sold to the right customers, but others worry that alcohol sales would lead to abuse and cause social problems if there are no proper control<\/strong><\/span>s.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to find an equitable balance while allowing the sale of alcohol,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
