PETALING JAYA: The Kedah government’s move to ban all 4D shops has come under fire from political and business leaders, who say it ignores cultural diversity and affects the state’s revenue.
PKR vice-president Tian Chua said the ban shows that the PAS-led state government had failed to acknowledge the cultural diversity of the country and added that it would create a further rift among the various races.
He said the state government was making a “popularist and religious appeal” to compensate for its inability to develop the state economically and provide welfare aid to uplift the lives of the people after the Covid-19 pandemic.
This was why PAS needed to make such “low-level emotional appeal to get votes”, he added.
“Now it is in Kedah. It may become a nationwide policy if the Perikatan Nasional coalition adopts it,” he said.
