Alcohol sales not an issue in Sarawak as state has autonomy, says SUPP chief Dr Sim


KUCHING: There is no issue about alcohol sales in Sarawak as the state has autonomy on the matter, says Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) president Datuk Seri Dr Sim Kui Hian.

Dr Sim, who was state Local Government and Housing minister before the dissolution of the Sarawak Legislative Assembly, said Sarawak has its own Local Authorities Ordinance, which not many people were aware of.
