Disgruntled club members ready to quit if liquor ban stays

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Some of Shah Alam Club’s most senior members are willing to give up their membership should the club’s ban on alcohol remain.

Stressing that he was disappointed with the ban, one member noted that the club has always been multiracial, with members from all walks of life playing sports and socialising with each other.

“I plan to give up my membership, partly because of this alcohol ban. I have another club in Bukit Kiara that I can go to,” said the member, who joined the club over 35 years ago.

“I believe the state government’s move to ban alcohol in the club is wrong as it deprives non-Muslim members of an amenity … an ice-cold beer after sports or having a round of drinks with friends and family.”
