THE MCA Federal Territories liaison committee and Majlis Perwakilan Penduduk Wilayah Persekutuan (MPPWP) of Seputeh, Bukit Bintang, Kepong and Segambut hereby express our strong dissatisfaction with the announcement by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to proceed with its ban on the sale of liquor at sundry shops, convenience stores, and Chinese medicinal shops effective Nov 1.

This ban strikes at the capital city’s spirit of openness and driving business entrepreneurship. It puts our modern era into reverse gear.
