News of liquor stores and supermarkets selling alcoholic beverages being forced to shut down by the cops in Kuala Lumpur caught Malaysia’s curiosity.
Apparently, the stores were ordered to closed because of the total lockdown, and because alcoholic drinks are not considered an essential product.
Reportedly, police received complaints that a store in Bangsar had obtained approval to operate as a food and beverage store during the movement control order (MCO) despite it only selling alcoholic beverages.
Brickfields Police Chief Anuar Omar said that the store owner was given a warning and asked to close-shop.
