For those of you who love getting tipsy, you'll know that the only place you can get cheap alcohol is Pulau Langkawi because, well, it's tax-free.
Good news, you could soon add Pulau Pangkor to the list.
Reasonable request
The Star Online reported that the popular tourism island may include alcohol in its list of duty-free items.However, there's a catch: it will only be added into the list if there's a demand for it.
Quoting Perak Tourism Committee chairman Tan Kar Hing, the report said selling alcohol at duty-free price would be considered if there are reasonable requests that could benefit the locals and industry players on the island.
“The state will study it if there are requests – maybe at some specific locations.
“If there is no demand, alcohol will not be included. For now, it is not allowed to be included in the list, ” he said.
Pulau Pangkor was announced as a duty-free destination during the tabling of the Budget 2019 in Parliament last year.
The island will officially achieve the status on 1 January 2020, so if all goes well, you could throw a New Year's Eve celebration there with cheap alcohol.
