IN THE NEAR FUTURE, EVERTHING KENOT .... WHAT DO YOU THINK? CAN A PERSON ENJOY HIS DRINK IN PUBLIC IF HE IS WALKING ? #JustAsking
❓❓❓🤔🤔🤔
QUOTE.
THE phrase “much ado about nothing” is used when someone is over-reacting and makes a big deal of fuss over something unimportant.
This certainly seems to be the case regarding an elderly gentlemen’s decision to enjoy a leisurely stroll through an unidentified shopping mall in Melaka while gasp, horror, sipping on a can of beer. This uncle’s insouciance had been interpreted as a slap on the face to Muslim sensitivities as highlighted on several social media domains.
First up is Malay-language current affairs site Oh My Media Facebook page which signalled its displeasure by asking since when did public consumption of alcohol was permitted. It was claimed that the uncle had been sounded out over his choice of beverage but chose to ignore it and continued his journey in a hurry.
“Didn’t the security personnel notice this?” the poster huffed while demanding that the mall management take appropriate action.
There were those who sought to inflame the situation by using this as yet another example of the “kafir harbi” (belligerent infidel) being disrespectful towards the majority yet no action is taken against them. Regardless of the amount consumed, it is the principle that matters as a mall is a public space frequented by people of differing ages and backgrounds. However, such sentiments were on the receiving end of a backlash from netizens who were non-plussed by this holier-than-thou attitude. One commenter highlighted that one singular can of beer wasn’t going to get anyone intoxicated. More than a few highlighted that the uncle was minding his own business and not causing any disturbances to anyone, not least to any Muslims. Was he inviting Muslims for a drink? The split in opinion was exemplified by a couple of comments. One concerned citizen was dismayed that the rights of non-Muslims was being curtailed. On the one hand, it was pointed out that the beer lover was walking – not driving – hence, he should be allowed the pleasure of enjoying his booze peacefully.
On the other, it was argued that such behaviour was unacceptable in Malaysia (as opposed to mainland China) where majority of the populace was Muslim. That divide in opinion was further underlined by a slew of comments that reflected the growing schism in society.
One commenter argued that alcohol consumption was to be limited to licensed premises and not public spaces. However, this view was seen by another netizen as non-Muslim rights being curtailed even though the uncle in question was not bothering anybody.
One can of beer but opposing perspectives. On the one hand, it is entirely reasonable that members of the public demand that, like smoking, consumption of the demon alcohol be confined to appropriate places.
On the other, it is very disconcerting that a middle-aged uncle quietly enjoying his singular can of beer in a mall is used as an example of non-Muslim arrogance and insensitivity towards their Muslim compatriots. – July 9, 2026

@ArosWealth Baca komen² yang still xpaham² pasal isu ni buat aku makin yakin yang exam kbkk untuk pengundi tu patut diwajibkan.
Kalau benda senang mcm ni pun gagal nak faham, layak ke kau nak buat keputusan yang akan affect future 1 negara?
@ReddOrchidd@SyuhadaShud Rosmah bebas zaman nuar. Nfa zahid zaman nuar. Byk kes nfa zaman nuar. Saksi guan eng mati dan saksi kedua kena harass zaman nuar. Staff kem ekonomi mati dlm pejabat terjerut zaman nuar. Hang melalut apa?
Punyalah useless orang selangor ni. Rohingya datang sehelai sepinggan pun boleh jadi threat besar utk dorang.
Kalau setakat lahir kat negeri maju tp otak tak pernah maju, tak guna jugak.
Pergi la sambung melalak pasal kelantan. Hahahaha
Probowo marah katanya indonesia pengeksport terbesar sawit tapi yang tentukan harga negara asing aka MALAYSIA. Dia tak puas hati knp malaysia yg tentukan

@totocat129@khalidkarim Now look at east coast. Got 1 fking lpt. Kelantan doesnt even have gas line, main pipe still using fking asbestos. Which idiot want come and invest if theres not even a gas line or infra?
@totocat129@khalidkarim Stupid fking take. How do you think gov fund the infras in west coast and selangor before this if not the fking oil money? Look at west coast. All of those states got enough infra during umno-mca, thus now they reap the fruit with investments. Which states resources fund it?
@KenTheGreat0@mengarut_je Not to mentioned, any effort during british to help malays faced with brutal repercussion.
Non malays lepas merdeka ada kena halangan ke? Kat SG, land ownership pre merdeka kena rampas balik, mostly from malays and arab traders. Malaysia ada buat tak utk chinese?
