An opposition MP has suggested for Putrajaya to separate the revenue from “sin taxes” on hard liquor and gambling from the government’s consolidated fund and only use it for the development of non-Muslims.

Steven Sim Chee Keong (Harapan-Bukit Mertajam) mooted this idea as he said PAS – one of the parties in the ruling coalition – has been very aggressive against alcohol and gambling, which have taxes imposed on them.
