Timah whiskey allowed to keep its name, says Nanta

PETALING JAYA: The Cabinet has agreed to allow homegrown Timah whiskey to maintain its name, Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi reportedly said.

He said the manufacturer will however be required to include an additional label on the whiskey bottle to explain that its name is actually in reference to “bijih timah”, which means tin ore in Bahasa Malaysia.
