00:00Before watching the video, I would like to remind you that there is more content on the R.E.D.I.T.E. website.
00:05Last week, the mayor of Pili, Lu Maizi, confirmed that he received a suggestion from the residents to expand the ban on alcohol to more Muslim-dominated areas.
00:13After the news spread, it caused a backlash from non-Muslims.
00:16For this matter, the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Nick Min, said that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport did not want to expand the ban on alcohol.
00:22Pili's alcohol sales regulations will continue to maintain the status quo and there will be no changes.
00:27He emphasized that our country is a multi-ethnic country.
00:30Each nation should respect each other.
00:32If anyone can't drink, don't buy alcohol.
00:36There is no need to make it a topic.
00:40When 7-Eleven sells alcohol, those who can't drink, don't buy it.
00:43That's all.
00:44But we can't ban people who can drink.
00:46That's their right.
00:47Because it's a matter of respect.
00:49That's all.
00:50Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Nick Min, after attending the Pili Ibao event today,
00:53made a response to the proposal to expand the ban on alcohol.
00:56He believes that we should not deprive others of the right to drink.
00:59Nick Min emphasized that only those who have a license to sell alcohol are not illegal.
01:03They also paid taxes to the government.
01:05Don't forget that this is not a business that is not based on the law.
01:10We have the licensing.
01:12This is a company, a publicly listed company.
01:16They also pay taxes for us to build the country.
01:19So we have to be fair to all.
