"Pubs" for the villagers

Start this page with corrections. Re-alignment of understandings. "Tody" is a prevailing drink in the estates, purely for the fact that is near to coconut plantations and located next to Rubber/Palm oil estates. It is cheap drink with the concept originating from Sri Langka. Now there are also numerous "Tody" outlet in the town center! These days, the affluence takes "Tody" with stout as a choice drink!

Here is a typical "Bar" scene with patrons relaxing under trees! The drinks are purchased in pails instead of jars!

Next! Is the sale of "Tody" illegal? Absolutely not! Malaysia being a religious country frown on the open sales of alcoholic drinks.

Hence "watering" holes should be properly concealed with little or no publicity! There is no signage and those who needed the drinks find it by words of mouth! This "joint" beside a main road is properly camouflaged, conjuring the false impression that the fencing shields an illegal joint.

On the contrary, this shed in the midst of a palm oil estate, away from public sight is operated openly without enclosure!

From the mode of transport, quite clearing substantiate the believe that most patrons are from the lower income group!

Patron who enjoy the ambience here are from this group. There are others who prefer to have the drinks served in the privacy of their homes!
