Drinking is a taboo in Islam and so muslim can't visit pub but a Malaysian township dominted by muslim residents have decided to open a muslim pub but don't expect much because it will serve only soft drinks.

The Municipal Council in Kuantan, Malaysia, has proposed that a Muslim pub be opened where patrons could enjoy soft drinks and fruit juices.

"I think we should have a Muslim pub as it will allow those who want clean entertainment to unwind at such an outlet," the council’s president Datuk Azizan Ahmad was quoted by the New Strait Times, as saying.

He was speaking during a dialogue between the police, council and entertainment outlet operators.
