Back in April this year, up and coming Malaysian actor Shah Radhi Hazfee received tons of backlash when he expressed his plan to open a halal pub.
Of course, his idea didn’t sit well with the Muslim netizens and had been receiving overwhelming criticism on social media.

Sekali pandang ok laa. Dua kali pandang dm tepi datang pub halal nnti ? ..
But despite the negative response, the 23-year-old actor has decided to proceed with his plan as he told Gempak recently.
“I want to open a halal pub to attract youngsters who like to hangout at pubs which serve alcoholic drinks,” he said. “I have already gone to these pubs to do some research and I found that most of these youngsters went to these places just to hang out and enjoy the ‘vibes’.”
“So, with the opening of my halal pub, I can still retain the ‘vibes’ of a pub without serving any alcoholic drink. At least, it can prevent youngsters from drinking alcohols,” he added.
Do you agree with his statement?
