Former Perlis mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin has lambasted political leaders for campaigning for “destruction”, by taking part in beer festivals.

Mohd Asri said a good leader will not campaign for “destruction”.

“Even if he smokes, he will not campaign for smoking. Instead, his honesty will make him admit the dangers of smoking to his rakyat,” Mohd Asri said in a Facebook posting today.
