Is beer really that bad?

[HellAngel]

Certain ‘religious’ people have a keen fascination on beer and liquor.

And it looks like the inaugural Malaysia Day Ex-International/State Invitational Soccer 9s in KL is their latest target.

These group question to why a beer company – in this case Carlsberg – are the sponsors of the tournament.

Here's a history lesson.

Guinness Anchor Bhd was incorporated on Jan 24, 1964 and the company changed its name to Guinness Malaysia Bhd on April 15, 1966.

Our first Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman launched the new brewery in 1966 as evident in the first photo above.

But some ‘folks’ have launched an attack on Tunku as seen here (http://www.perisik-rakyat.com/2010/04/tahun-1966-siapa-rasmi-kilang-guinness.html).
Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Berhad, meanwhile, began brewing Carlsberg Green Label beer locally in 1972.

The second picture is an advertisement that appeared on page 2 of the Kesatuan Guru-Guru Melayu Malaysia Barat's AGM booklet in 1968. The following page was a message from the then deputy Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak.

No one kicked a fuss then.

Carlsberg sponsored Liverpool up until last year. Everton has Chang Beer on the front of its jersey.
Oh yes, KL hosted the F1 Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge on April 9.

Tobacco and gambling sponsorships?

The National Sports Council, the funding arm of the Youth and Sports Ministry, enjoys millions of Ringgit in sponsorship from Sports Toto. Dunhill used to sponsor, and were the biggest sponsors, of our M-League back in the day.

By the way, is smoking haram or makruh? Read here (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100109082508AAyd63g) and here (http://www.questionsonislam.com/question/smoking-haram) for an educational explanation.

So back to the question to why a beer company would sponsor the ex-international event – because people like you don't take out a single cent to sponsor such events!

Food, opps, drink for thought?

Cheers!

HellAngle, seriously I remember during the old days, we Chinese have no problem with Malays. All of us coexist very closely. Its only say 20 years ago that Malays, most of them, become more religious and somehow isolate themselves.

yes joe ...i used to stay close to a malay kampong and had many friends there....malay asa well as chinese. The malays were friendly and fun then.

These days due to wahabbism some malays have become less tolerant and friendly than previously.

I can't believe these Islamists fucktards from Malaysia are making a big fuss over something as trivial as this.. These Malay Ultras are bloody backwards in their thinking.. I once read about the late Tunku's love for beer and whisky but he gradually quit drinking altogether in his later years.. The Tunku is a jovial happy go lucky chap who loves betting on horses and having a good time in life.. He's a modern Malay leader ahead of his time..

Beer is good but whiskey is better. I always enjoys an evening few bottles of beer with my Chinese friends. They seem to be able binge on it all the way past midnight till which wee hour I don't know. I always leave by 11pm. Too much beer makes me feel bloated. At home, I usually drink whiskey when I'm reading or doing desk work or just lounging in the couch. It's already become a habit to have a couple of glasses of whiskey before sleeping time.

Except for wedding dinners, I usually don't drink and eat at the same time.

I want to enjoy the food while I'm sober.

When drinking, I don't want the food to destroy my palate. Finger food is okay at certain bars, just a little nibble.

Yes, beer and sex good combination.
Think the hot weather makes beer so delicious! Even better will be some finger food.
And it's so difficult to watch a football match without beer and ciggies.

Singveld. Think it is more on the individuals. Some don't drink beer but still get beer tummy. I don't have a beer tummy and I drink every night though not beer all the time. Even with a beer tummy, still OK as long as not too big. Anyway for an old uncle like me, a little beer tummy is fine.
