KL business owners call liquor sale ban 'unfair and ineffective'


BUSINESS owners in Kuala Lumpur are up in arms over Kuala Lumpur City Hall's (DBKL) decision to ban the sale of liquor at convenience stores, sundry shops and Chinese medicine halls.

They are calling the guidelines, which took effect on Monday (Nov 1), unfair and ineffective, adding that the move would only worsen the struggle of business owners to recover from the adverse effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
