‘Supply is going to become scarce and prices are going to rise. All of this is needless.’

COMMENT | Well, Covid-19 has not changed one bit the often misplaced religious polemics in Malaysia with a lot of froth being stirred in the beer glass for nothing. The point to note is that Heineken and Carlsberg are a food and beverage business.

What is disturbing is that the end result is that the government submits to these ridiculous, irrational, thoughtless demands by those intending to score political points during such difficult times and orders that the permission to work – not full time, but to maintain operations with minimal staff – is revoked.

Lu minum todi jer lah selayaknya...

Relax small matter,no need to be an issue, actually they generate good income for government also.

Bodo

Still want to stir up this beer issue eh? Got nothing to do?

They should think first, rather than to make a u-turn later. 🤔🙂

How is it pas bigots having a say on civil law. MALAYSIA IS SECULAR, NOT ISLAMIC NATION. as such we're governed by civil war only. We pay taxes to keep the country going. Muslims pay zakat. So why is on bowing to religious bigots

Hahaha semalam marah kenapa bukak hari ni bagi sebab pulak kenapa perlu bukak

Tax tak tax.. Negara yang diberkati tuhan akan mendatangkan lebih banyak kebaikan.. Sebab tu ajaran islam lebih mementingkan mematuhi hukum agama daripada keduniaan.. Orang islam perlu berpegang teguh kepada agama dan tidak menggadaikan agama demi kepentingan duniawi

Decisions or rules made may not please everybody. They may benefit the majority. We should learn to accept them no matter how painful they are to a certain individual.

La mula2 marah bagi sekarng marah bqtal.. dqdar politik taik budqk 2 dqp

HM always think of themselves

Comment one : Heineken wants the workers earn their salary, to hell with the threats of Wuhancoronavirus, eh gunasegaram ?

MCO says 'essential services' of which food is one of them. It didn't say 'essential food item' Is coke, potato chips, Twisties essential? To a vegetarian, meat is 'non-essential food' We live in society. Respect ppl choice of food If ban alcohol then ban coke (diabetes) too

Alcohol consumption is for non muslims...others shukd back off n mind their own biz

PAS either u get your salary or no salary. Gest what they choose?

Fat Minister salary and 600k Mercedes they want

Beer is not essential but a luxury...if you give exceptions then your putting all the workers in the factory at risk if new cluster came from them....

To stay calm...kekaltenang 🍻

These r the highest tax the government could collect including exporting, in order to give out bantuan prihatin easily. There is no free money.

Because need money for the stimulus

I drink beer but it is not essential. My fishes are starving from lack of food. I have a leaking pipe in my ceiling since 19 Mar which no plumber can come and fix. Those are more essential than my beer. Backdoor priorities.

Salary and Mercedes they want

If there are any businesses that need to be given exemptions the PN Malay-Islamofascists and their running dogs, it should be businesses that facilitate basic needs of Malaysians like tech outlets, self-service laundries etc. Why must beer companies be given exemptions?

pls dont drink n writing
