BUTTERWORTH: A PAS lawmaker has been taken to task for ticking off a mall over its Chinese New Year beer promotion at its premises in Seberang Jaya here.

The move by Permatang Pauh MP Muhammad Fawwaz Muhammad Jan has not gone down well with many quarters, with Pengkalan Kota assemblyman Daniel Gooi describing him as overstepping his jurisdiction by “assuming the role of moral police”.
