Liquor Control (Supply and Consumption) Act 2015

The Liquor Control (Supply and Consumption) Act 2015 is a statute of the Parliament of Singapore that regulates the supply and consumption of liquor at public places, and to make consequential and related amendments to certain other written laws. The law is designed specifically to deter recurrences of the 2013 Little India riot that took place with mobs under the influence of alcohol.
