No Respect for Halal in Malaysia

The Halal logo in restaurants, shops, factories etc……………. are just for show. These RM45,000 logo can be bought at ease. Are the food or product halal? Authorities will only check if there is a complaint from some Tan Sri or some benefits in return.

Take the case of one so-called malay halal company supplying baking ingredients. The actual owner is Chinese but he uses his malay worker name to name his products. I was told she is paid RM10,000 per month. The factory is filthy and some of the workers consume non-halal food on the premise, check on the products will review non-halal products.
Another recent case that was reported in the news just before Hari Raya last year, was this bakery ingredients supplier was caught selling old stock and non-halal products. She was slapped with just a warning.
Do you know that most of the essence produce in Malaysia are alcohol base? Do the authorities bother to check on this or is this considered halal since alcohol burns off when you bake or cook. One famous cake shop special ingredients are vodka, beer, brandy, whisky and rum.
How about our famous burger supplier? Dog and horse meat were the special ingredients added to it. The condition of the factory is like a squatter camp.
There is this restaurant that has a halal logo on its door and counter, but for special customers you can have char siew, pig’s liver soup or their pickle pig ear.
So what is this Halal business Pak Lah talking about? I smell MONEY
