PETALING JAYA: Unreasonable directives on alcohol sale restrictions impinge on the constitutional freedoms and lifestyle choices of non-Muslims, says Datuk Chong Sin Woon.

The MCA secretary-general said the party strongly opposes the restrictions on the sale of alcoholic drinks imposed by the Customs Department on coffeeshops and restaurants.

"We cannot allow our country's system of democracy, constitutional freedoms and moderation to increasingly turn conservative without taking into consideration of others," he said in a statement on Monday . He quoted a media report on Dec 3 stating that the Perlis Customs Department stipulated that coffeeshops, hotels and restaurants are required to have a liquor licence from next year before customers are allowed to drink on the premises.
