The MPs from the wards in Little India are pushing for even tougher measures in response to the Ministry of Home Affairs' (MHA) proposal to implement alcohol-free zones in the area.
And they have the support of shopowners in the affected area, who just a year ago were dead set against any such law.
MHA is seeking public views on two proposed rules: banning alcohol consumption in common areas like void decks and pavements, and limiting the hours during which stores can sell alcohol.
In recent years, MPs and residents have raised concerns about the problems of public drinking.
