Is selling beer a crime in Malaysia?


When there is a big huh-hah over Tunku, Kuantan Municipal Council (MPK) confiscated a total of 277 bottles and cans of beer from a 7-11 outlet in town.

According to a report in China Press yesterday, the operation was launched after local residents lodged complaints with the authority for actions to be taken against the outlet for selling alcoholic drinks in a Muslim majority residential area.

Pahang Mentri Besar Adnan refused to comment on the matter.

Is Pahang moving towards more Islamisation? Immediate commentary from the China Press reporter criticised the state government and local authority for neglecting the spirit of Merdeka Constitution.

Don't you think that instead of us quarreling who is the real fighter for Merdeka, why not we gather energy to talk more how to make this country a more accomodative country?
