PENGGUNAAN CCTV DAN KAEDAH GANJARAN DALAM PENGUATKUASAAN KAWALAN PENJUALAN ARAK DI KEDAI SERBANEKA

Abstract

ABSTRAK

Tiada mana-mana agama yang membenarkan minum arak, lebih-lebih lagi agama Islam. Walau bagaimanapun, penjualan arak masih berlaku baik secara terbuka mahupun tertutup. Objektif utama kajian ini adalah untuk meneliti pendekatan penguatkuasaan sedia ada, menganalisis peranan PBT serta mencadangkan kaedah alternatif iaitu penggunaan closed-circuit television (CCTV) atau dipanggil kamera litar tertutup dan kaedah ganjaran dalam meningkatkan keberkesanan pengawasan. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis data terhadap jurnal-jurnal akademik dan dokumen perundangan yang terpilih. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa pemantauan penjualan arak oleh PBT masih longgar walaupun telah diberi lesen. Tindakan penguatkuasaan lebih tertumpu kepada aspek lain seperti kebersihan dan susun atur premis. Temu bual menunjukkan pengusaha ada usaha mematuhi peraturan, namun kekurangan pemantauan berkala telah memberi ruang kepada ketidakpatuhan garis panduan. Telah dicadangkan kepada pihak PBT iaitu penggunaan CCTV di kawasan arak di kedai serbaneka, bagi mengatasi kekangan tenaga kerja oleh pihak PBT. Cadangan ini turut merangkumi penguatkuasaan peraturan lebih ketat seperti pengasingan premis, kaunter khas yang dikendalikan individu bukan Muslim, had operasi dan kawalan penjualan. Masyarakat juga disarankan untuk terlibat secara aktif dengan saluran aduan yang disertai bukti, serta ganjaran bagi aduan sah untuk menyokong tindakan penguatkuasaan PBT. Isu penjualan arak secara terbuka di kedai serbaneka menimbulkan cabaran besar terhadap keharmonian masyarakat majmuk. Ia memerlukan tindakan tegas daripada pihak berkuasa, serta pemilik premis dan masyarakat perlu lebih peka dan cakna bagi memastikan kesejahteraan sosial serta penguatkuasaan yang lebih berkesan.

ABSTRACT

No religion permits the consumption of alcohol, especially Islam. Nevertheless, the sale of alcohol continues to occur, both openly and discreetly. The main objective of this study is to examine the existing enforcement approaches, analyze the role of local authorities (PBT), and propose alternative methods such as the use of closed-circuit television (CCTV) and a reward-based system to enhance monitoring effectiveness. This study adopts a qualitative approach through data analysis of selected academic journals and legal documents. The findings reveal that monitoring of alcohol sales by local authorities remains weak despite licensing requirements. Enforcement actions are more focused on other aspects such as hygiene and premises arrangement. Interviews indicate that operators do attempt to comply with regulations; however, the lack of regular monitoring has allowed non-compliance with guidelines. The study proposes to the local authorities the use of CCTV in alcohol display areas within convenience stores to overcome manpower limitations. The proposal also includes stricter regulations such as the separation of premises, dedicated counters managed by non-Muslim staff, operating hour restrictions, and tighter control over sales. The public is also encouraged to participate actively through proper complaint channels supported with evidence, with suitable rewards given for valid reports to support local authority enforcement. The open sale of alcohol in convenience stores poses a significant challenge to the harmony of a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society. This issue requires firm action from the authorities, and greater awareness and responsibility from both business owners and the community to ensure social well-being and more effective enforcement.
