Shutting down bars for Poya, Christmas, New Year and such days is just an eye wash and blow to the state coffers. Has there been a radical change if we observe abstinence. A person who wants to drink would have made plans well in advance. Now wonder we are all considered a barking mad nation.

Liquor available on 24/7 Tuesday, 03 October 2023 08:00 AM
You know very well the availability of ANY liquor in plenty on any day of the year including Poya day. So why are we making a joke out of it?

This is a joke. If alcohol is bad it, should be banned every day. It is absolutely absurd to close on Poya days and temperance days etc.

Shouldn't you be informing the general public much before? You are announcing this at 11:01pm. 59 minutes prior to the next day beginning. What kind of country is this? This is absolutely unacceptable behaviour. Don't anyone of you have common sense and work ethics? In your country, you find 1 million reasons to keep businesses closed rather than keeping them opened and you expect your country to prosper?

All those who are imbibing in liquor will not miss their usual tot as they have already stock their liquor and those who cannot have the means of having even a bottle will get their illegal brew although the government has declared a holiday. You can muzzle a dog but you cannot muzzle a "BIBILOUS PERSON"
