Selangor PAS Youth has decided to call off a rally planned for tomorrow to protest against state exco member Ronnie Liu for interfering in a beer raid by the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA).

Contacted today, PAS Youth chief Hasbullah Mohd Ridzwan said the demonstration was called off in view of Menteri Besar's Khalid Ibrahim's pledge to resolve the matter by tomorrow.

"Since the Menteri Besar has asked for time and some room for the government to come out with a solution, we will wait for his announcement," he said.

Hasbullah said he and other Selangor PAS Youth leaders held a meeting with Liu on Tuesday and that they are currently studying the latter's responses.

He said during the meeting, Liu was informed that many Muslims in the Shah Alam area were upset over his alleged interference with MBSA's beer raid.

He stressed that Selangor PAS Youth will only hold demonstrations as a last resort should all other efforts fail.

NONE In another development, the central PAS leadership has announced that it will not interfere in Selangor's ongoing alcohol-ban debate.

"We will not interfere... We're sure the state government will come to a correct decision. We trust Khalid's leadership," said PAS secretary-general Mustaffa Ali ( right ) at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur.

The Selangor government is drawing up guidelines to regulate the sale of alcohol at mini-markets and convenience stores to prevent Muslims access to alcohol.

Meanwhile, in another development Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim said in a statement today that all matters involving the opposition alliance, including the Selangor issue, will be discussed at a high-level meeting on Aug 13.
