KUALA LUMPUR – Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will postpone its prohibition on liquor sales at grocery, convenience and Chinese medicine stores to October 31.

The move was initially slated to take effect tomorrow.

In a statement today, the DBKL media unit said the postponement is to allow for a study on controlling liquor sales in the federal capital to be finalised.

“The ease of accessibility to liquor has been the subject of complaints and protests because it has endangered public safety.

“At the moment, grocery stores, convenience stores and Chinese medicine stores are allowed to sell liquor until October 31, 2021.”

The ban is part of DBKL’s guidelines on liquor that came into force on November 15 last year. – The Vibes, September 30, 2021
