PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has issued a stern warning to Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing and his ministry that the serving of alcohol at an official government event must never be repeated.

Anwar said the explanation provided by the ministry, that alcohol was served only after the official programme had concluded, was unacceptable as the government holds a firm policy against serving alcohol at official functions, without exception.
