jade@thestar,com.my
THE Subang jaya Municipal Council's (MPSj) .
directive to ban Muslims from working in
entertainment outlets serving liquor is merely
the local authority's move to introduce a new
guideline to an existing ruling.
MPSj councillor Roslan Shahir Mohd Shahir
said there was an existing Syariah Criminal
Enactment since 1995 that prevented Muslims
from selling, serving or promoting intoxicating'
drinks.
"If found guilty, the person can be fined up
to RM5,OOOor jailed three years. In 2009, the
MPSJ'sLicensing Committee set up a sub-com-
mittee which I chaired to review the licensing
guidelines for entertainment outlets, health
outlets and cybercafes," said Roslan, adding
that it is a normal procedure to review council
guidelines from time to time.
"Based on the sub-committee's recommendations, the council decided to introduce some
new licensing guidelines last year.
"By introducing the guidelin~s, the MPSj is
educating entertainment outlets to not hire
Muslims. The entertainment outlet operators
are informed of the guidelines at the end of
every year when they renew their licences:'
Roslan said the guideline was to educate the
entertainment operators rather than enforcement.
"Even without this guideline, jais (Selangor
Islamic Religious Department). canlaid such
outlets under the Syariah law," he said.
Roslan said the directive to bal1 Muslims
from serving liquor affected those working in
karaoke outlets, pubs and nightclubs, not those
in restaurants and hotels.
"Based on feedback, the MPSJ's directive
does not involve a significant number of
Muslims," he said.
Roslan noted the Selangor government's
move to establish a special fund to help MugJim
workers who had to resign from their jobs at
entertainment outlets serving liquor was suppOI.tive of the action that the MPSj was taking.

A public outcry erupted last week following the MPSJ'smove to ban Muslims from
working at entertainment outlets with liquor
licences.
The move has also caused some confusion
as state local government chairman Ronnie

withdraw the new condition, but state executive councillor for Islamic affairs Datuk Dr
