Agencies pass the buck on enforcement


Marshel says the Health Minister can appoint either City Hall or the police to carry out enforcement.

THE enforcement of the new ruling on alcohol sale which came into effect on Dec 1 this year has not specified which government authority handles the enforcement.

The rules pertaining to control of alcohol sale under the Food Regulation Act 1985 was amended and gazetted on May 27, 2016. However, a question begging for an answer is which enforcement agency should take charge of enforcing the new regulation.
