00:00Former Minister Rafida Aziz has called the ongoing debate over mandatory halal certification

00:09unnecessary. In a social media post, she said the controversy is diverting society's attention

00:15from more pressing matters. She said the government should focus on combating corruption

00:21instead, which she believed was a source of non-halal money. Rafida stressed that Muslims

00:27who are steadfast in adhering to Islam's tenets do not need any entity to tell them what they

00:32can consume. She said Muslims should not burden others simply because they need to be protected

00:39from un-Islamic food. Last Thursday, Religious Affairs Minister Naim Mokhtar said JAKIM is

00:45considering making halal certification mandatory for all food establishments that do not serve

00:50pork and alcohol. Sam Wichwa, FMT News
