| Message | The bill that the KMT has drafted and that has passed is NOT prohibition. We do not outlaw, nor do we want to outlaw all sales or consumption of alcohol. We feel that alochol sales need to be regulated. We do not want alcohol to get into the hands of minors. -Dr. Kirby Fung, Chairman of the RKMT |
