Any decision on the proposal to make halal certification mandatory for all restaurants and food operators is under the jurisdiction of the Conference of Rulers, according to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi .
“We must respect the current system. Even though I am the chairman of the Halal Malaysia Council, I will certainly take a cautious approach regarding the findings of the study,” he told the Malaysian media on the last day of his working visit to China today. He said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Mohd Na’im Mokhtar had also been asked to look into the next steps that can be taken.
The issue sparked controversy when Seputeh MP Teresa Kok responded by saying that the implementation of halal certification should be voluntary to allow operators to make decisions based on market demand, not by compulsion.
