Minister for Transport and member of parliament for Moulmein-Kallang GRC Lui Tuck Yew posted a statement on his Facebook page stating that there is a need to look thoroughly into how big a role alcohol played in the Little India riot that happened yesterday night.
He suggests limitations are imposed on the number of shops selling liquor, the amount of alcohol shops are permitted to sell, the location where alcohol can be consumed and the hours permitting alcohol consumption.
