PAS gets bolder from Teng Chang Khim’s misword of one getting drunk by sheer sight of alcohol

THE usage of satire or sarcasm in a prose – whether in a print or social media – can sometimes backfire on their authors as Malaysians are too straight forward to appreciate creative thoughts.
Henceforth, DAP’s Selangor State Executive Councillor Datuk Teng Chang Khim’s intended teaser that “one can get drunk by the sheer sight of alcohol” which is meant as a teaser to run down PAS’ obsession with its alcohol protest has turned into an ammunition by the Islamist party to launch a counter-attack against proponents of non-restrictive alcohol sale for non-Muslims.
For context, PAS is standing firm behind the action of Permatang Pauh’s Perikatan Nasional (PN) MP Muhammad Fawwaz Md Jan who on Tuesday (Jan 9) spearheaded a protest against the open selling/promotion of Carlsberg beers in conjunction with the Chinese New Year festivity by the Sunway Carnival Mall in mainland Penang’s Seberang Jaya.
This has prompted Teng ‘to belittle’ the PAS Permatang Pauh information chief’s effort in a Facebook (FB) post that he has since deleted by remarking that “Kalau kamu tak minum tapi tengok pun boleh mabuk, itu masalah kamu, bukan masalah arak. Sia-sia kamu sembahyang” (literally, “If you are intoxicated just by looking, the problem is with you and not alcohol. A waste of your prayers”).
