Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz has dismissed claims that the government had compromised halal standards set by the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim).

00:00In this case, I want to make a statement about the government
00:09that has been adjusted standard of halal to be able to make the permit of the US.
00:15This is not true.
00:18What has been done with the US is to make a process of making a decision
00:23of the US to Malaysia.
00:25Di mana JAKIM diberikan proses ini akan dilaksanakan oleh Badan Pengesahan Halal
00:32Amerika Syarikat yang diiktiraf oleh JAKIM.
00:34So basically, saya ingin menegaskan yang pematuhan syariah ini adalah prasyarat
00:40ke atas import daging halal dari kesemua negara.
00:43So it's still applicable to the US.
00:45They still need to meet the JAKIM standards of Malaysia.
00:48If they don't meet the standards of JAKIM Malaysia, they cannot bring it.
00:51So there was the rumour daripada one of the reporters here, publication katakan kita
00:57give in to halal.
00:58That's not true at all.
01:01So kerajaan tidak akan berganjak lah dari pendirian kita berhubung perkara ini.
01:06Jadi kita harap ada pihak yang akan memberikan kabaran yang tidak tepat.
01:09Always check with us first before coming out with the report.
01:12Because it was very sensitive.
01:14So the government views this sanction as an opportunity to improve ourselves.
01:19Because these non-tarif barriers sometimes are due to bureaucratic process.
01:22We have to admit there are rules for improvement.
01:25And some of the issues raised by the US gives us an opportunity to relook at those processes.
01:30And some of those processes are due to be improved.
01:36So that is what we want to do.
01:37So I would like to address some claims that the government is compromising the halal standard
01:43to accommodate the US because that this claim is not true.
01:47What we have agreed with the US is to facilitate the process of importation of the halal meat to Malaysia
01:53but not compromise on the halal standards of those importation.
02:07So that we can address someления bagage to little bit later.
02:10So I would like to address some claims that the customer visits top 1 cm tomana.
02:15So we are trying to understand nah,
02:16well as far as we could include pack down,
02:18really dari kami.
02:19Even individualki bahkan pada kitab
02:20atau mata seisry able buingости nya sentjuk yang kしゃup Than iam atas SpencerR
