Ban the drinking of alcohol in public places


RECENTLY, I have noticed that liquor and wine shops have sprouted up in all nooks and corners of the country, especially in populated cities like Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Baru and Ipoh.

It is disturbing to also note that the local authorities have been so liberal in issuing licences for the sales of hard liquor and other alcoholic drinks in mini markets and sundry stores too.
