KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 9 — The Ministry of Finance should defer the enforcement of beer sales licencing for coffee shops and restaurants instead of delegating the responsibility to state governments, said former finance minister Lim Guan Eng.
“This power is under the purview of the Finance Ministry, including the penalty for selling liquor without a licence can be fined RM50,000 under the 1976 Excise Act, and not under state laws,” he said. Lim also said that the matter would further exacerbate shrinking margins for businesses as they must pay a hefty fee to sell beer on their premises.
“This would reduce the avenue for many non-Muslims to enjoy their beer in legally licenced shops as normal because operators may not think it is worth paying between RM840 and RM1,320 for a license when they can hardly earn sufficient profits from selling beer.
MOF is playing safe. Umno will use this as point to gain votes in states where no license requirements to sell beer 😂🤪🤣
