‘No more licensing requirements for alcohol sale, what else do you want?’ Dr Wee questions Guan Eng


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong is perplexed that DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng is still angry about the alcohol licensing issue despite an official directive by the Finance Ministry not to proceed with the proposed enforcement.

The Transport Minister pointed out that the Customs Department, in a circular dated Dec 9 (Thursday), stated that they were directed by the Finance Ministry in a Dec 8 letter to discontinue plans to enforce licensing on the sale of alcohol in restaurants and coffee shops.
