KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 ― Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin suggested today that the permanent closure of pubs and bars currently barred from operating under the recovery movement control order (RMCO) could be positive for the country.
At an event whose speakers were mostly pro-government conservative academics, Muhyiddin noted that the two types of businesses were among the few still prohibited from opening as part of measures to contain Covid-19.
He made the remark while he held up his administration’s Covid-19 response as among his most notable achievements since becoming prime minister, which he also said demonstrated that the government was people-centric.
“Only the pubs and bars have yet to resume businesses, but I feel maybe if they don’t open at all is a good thing,” he said.
Also present at the event was Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, president of Islamist party PAS.

So fellow local chinese! This is going to be new reality if local chinese continue to oppose government of the day! If local chinese continue to snub MCA and Muafakat wins GE15, then prepare to see chinese institutions closing down one by one! I have warned about this for years!
