Don’t enforce beer licence circular until MoF update, Guan Eng tells local councils

GEORGE TOWN – Until details from the Finance Ministry have been released, Bagan MP Lim Guan Eng has called on local councils not to cooperate with the federal circular on beer licensing enforcement on all coffee shops and restaurants.

In a press conference at the Penang DAP headquarters here today, he lambasted the circular as “unwarranted and unjustified” as it will affect the lifestyles of non-Muslims.

“This limitation will affect the rights of non-Muslims and our lifestyle. There have been no problems since before gaining independence. 

“Why further divide Malaysians by enforcing this licensing requirement, which will also burden the business community during the pandemic?” – The Vibes, December 6, 2021
