A Johor state representative has suggested that Muslims be banned from working in 24-hour convenient stores that sell alcohol. Kukup assemblyman Suhaimi Salleh said the issue of alcohol sale involving Malay staff should not be compromised because it was against Islam. "The hukum (tenet) is clear.

He urged relevant agencies to view the issue seriously as it affected Malay dignity, especially among the youth.
