someone made up their own duty stamps and the government got a bit P'd off (as would any government). They have banned all imports until further notice, but there is a large lobby (not hotel lobby) to the government to re-consider in light of the high season coming for tourism.
Can't tell you how much the ban is affecting things, only drink Beam for my birthday and there is no problem getting bintang and local wines & spirits.
