Rumor: QDC will stop issuing new permits?

Thanks for everyone's input!

No such thing.. went last evening at 7 PM had to wait for about 1/2 hour due to the line.. but got a new permit issued in a breeze.. only thing is they have tightened the procedure are short of staff.. so takes about 10 mins per person and there is only one counter open.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, but Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

anomaly is the reason..one Sri Lanka ang two Indian employees(permit section) was terminated. will resume issuing new and renewal permit after tommorow.

does not interest me.

Good luck to the "Green" addicts!

Just read - Good - tightening the regulations to plug up loopholes. Like a black market thingy going on, so like the pubs registration - a protectionist policy, although a hassle - but only go through it once - although some leeway should be allowed for guests of members - so the guests don't have to line up, take photo and pay? (I dunno, hardly ever go, but heard complaints). Orions has a good system in place - scan IDs only. Leeway for guests of members - so members will be held accountable for any misbehaviours of their guests..something like that.

Back to QDC - if everybody genuinely falling within the regulations will be allowed the alcohol permits, then it's not a restriction but a protection. At least the objective... the implementation is another thing.

"It could be a temporary move while the QDC tightens up the regulations - currently many lower salary members buy alcohol to sell on to non-permit members at vastly inflated prices.

I renewed my permit yesterday.

It looked like there were people there yesterday getting permits and I didn't see any signs up saying they weren't.

Would seem a strange thing to do. No one is forcing people to get a liquor permit and if someone does sell it illegally they should be punished.

Everybody must go to the expensive hotel bars now. What a clever move.

That's a step in the right direction.

stopped renewing the permits. on what basis i dont know. couple of days ago my colleagues went to renew their permits and were denied.

I've spent days and nights to destroy the bloody alcohol, but they keep on importing it at a faster rate.

I hope they'll do. Alcohol is 'haram'. What a hypocrite country that is.

It sounds like a marketing strategy to boost sales and/or increase prices.
