KOTA KINABALU: PAS Labuan is calling for tighter restrictions on the sale of alcohol on the island.
This comes following Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s decision to ban the sale of liquor at convenience stores, sundry shops and Chinese medicine halls starting Nov 1.
Labuan PAS’ advisory council deputy chairman Hamir Zahari said these measures could help reduce the increasing accident rate as a result of drunk driving, social ills and alcohol addiction among youth. He added in a statement on the PAS Labuan Facebook page on Wednesday that this will also help to reduce the rate of broken families, domestic violence and other issues due to the excessive consumption of alcohol
Hamir said local authorities in Labuan should take DBKL’s example and use it as a guideline towards making similar bans and restrictions on the island. "PAS in Labuan is ready to give the support and cooperation needed to make this restriction a reality," Hamir said.
