SELANGOR PAS: BAN ALCOHOL IN MUSLIM AREAS
Malaysiakini | August 4, 2009 | 1:57pm
Selangor PAS wants the Pakatan Rakyat state government to implement a blanket ban on the sale of alcohol in all Muslim-majority areas.
Speaking at a press conference in Shah Alam, Selangor PAS commissioner Hassan Ali said the proposed ban will only concern Muslims and not impinge on the right of non-Muslims to consume alcohol.
Asked if the move would be unfair to non-Muslims living in Muslim-majority areas, the PAS leader said they would just have to travel further to get the beverages.
Hasan also called on the state government to switch the portfolio of DAP exco member Ronnie Liu, who has "meddled in Islamic affairs."
He said Liu, who oversees local councils, had misunderstood the ban and therefore overstepped his jurisdiction.
"We are disappointed when certain quarters intervene in our initiatives to control the sale of alcohol among Muslims," he added. [Source: Malaysiakini]
