KUALA LUMPUR – Timah whiskey did not face any public or government opposition when it was registered in 2019, but only came into the spotlight after certain parties politicised the issue, the Dewan Rakyat was told.

This was the admission made by Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Rosol Wahid when responding to questions raised by lawmakers today.

He added that the whiskey brand was registered for trademark with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) a few years ago, following which its application was displayed in the public sphere for two months.

“However, there was no objection made to the name then. This means that, by law, the name is valid. However, there was a bit of havoc and concern recently, and I agree that certain people are taking advantage.
