Group: Restricting sale of hard liquor from next year untimely

PETALING JAYA: The Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s (DBKL) announcement to restrict the sale of hard liquor in shops from next year is “untimely”, said the Federation of Sundry Goods Merchants Association of Malaysia.

“This is because the majority of businesses are still hard hit and trying to recover from the pandemic, ” said its president Hong Chee Meng.“Perhaps we can work on this later when things get better.”
