There was report that Government is planning to reduce the duty-free allowance on alcohol to one bottle from two from people retuning from abroad.The reason cited is that countries such as Singapore permit only one  bottle at these duty free stores at the Airports. But in my opinion ,it would be ideal not to reduce the allowance.Why deprive international travellers a small pleasures? After all Brazil permits 12 bottles of alcohol and even UAE permits 4 bottles,.Let us focus on dealing with serious economic issues like inflation,falling growth rate, instead of a bottle of small desires.
