Jakim to consider proposals to sell alcoholic drinks via vending machines

KUALA LUMPUR: The Islamic Development Department (Jakim) will look into suggestions for convenience stores to use vending machines to sell alcoholic drinks so that Muslim staff do not have to touch these items.

Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Islamic Affairs) Zulkifli Hasan said Putrajaya welcomes proposals to address issues about Muslims handing alcoholic beverages at work.
