On one hand, PAS Youth has called for a ban on the sale of alcohol in Muslim-majority areas in all Pakatan Rakyat-held states and Perak. The caveat is: PAS Youth will not call for a total ban because "we respect the rights of non-Muslims to consume alcoholic beverages".
To facilitate that, PAS Youth said sale of alcohol will be banned in Muslim-majority areas. (NB: We really have to define how the statues had defined Muslim-majority areas without dispute.)
'Send Me A Gal'
On the other hand, it was revealed September 10 that Mirzan Mahathir, the eldest son of Dr Mahathir Mohamad, was recently appointed to the board of San Miguel Corp, the biggest food and beverage conglomerate in the Philippines and the owner of San Miguel Brewery Inc.
Today, Mirzan came out to defend his investment group’s stake in San Miguel Corp as just plain business. He argued that the San Miguel was well on the way to diversifying substantially from its brewery business.
FAMOUS LAST WORDS... My first taste of San Miguel was in Hong Kong during the early 80s, in between feasts on the famous roast goose drumstick. Folks there, with their funny-slang English, ordered me "Send-Me-a-Gal" as the amber lubricant.
