Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture Alexis Tam Chon Weng said in the legislature’s hemicycle yesterday that the government plans to draft legislation on the implementation of a statutory ban on the sale of alcoholic beverages to young people.
Tam made the remarks while addressing a plenary session on the first day of a two-day Q&A session about his portfolio’s policy guidelines for next year.
Tam first told reporters in October that the government was considering the possibility of drafting legislation aiming to tackle the excessive consumption of alcoholic drinks by young people.
