ماليزيا: استغلال القوة الشرائية لنشر منافذ الطعام الحلال

- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أكد السيد "نادزيم جوان" - السكرتير التنفيذي لجمعية المستهلكين المسلمين الماليزية - على أن المسلمين يجب أن يطالبوا منافذ تقديم الطعام بتقديم الشهادات التي تؤكد تقديمهم لطعام حلال يتوافق مع الشريعة الإسلامية، الصادرة من "إدارة التنمية الإسلامية بماليزيا"، في استغلال لقوتهم الشرائية لنشر الطعام لحلال.

وقال "جوان" - في تصريحات لشبكة "برناما" الماليزية -: إن هذه الإجراءات من شأنها التأكيد على أن جميع المنتجات حلال ومطابقة لأحكام الشريعة الإسلامية، وأشار إلى أن المنتجات التي تحمل هذه الشهادة ربما تكون حلالاً، ولكن هذه الشهادة مهمة لتجنب خداع المستهلكين لتضليل المسلمين في سلوك غير أخلاقي مخالف للقانون. المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Use Purchasing Power To Educate Producers And Food Outlets On Halal Certification

Muslim consumers should use their purchasing power to educate producers and food outlets on the importance of acquiring halal certification issued by the Islamic Development Department Malaysia (Jakim) for the growth of their business in the future.

Muslim Consumer Association Malaysia (PPIM) executive secretary Datuk Nadzim Johan said by right, Muslim consumers should insist on halal certification before they dined at restaurants or any food outlets or buying food or other consumer products.

"This is to ensure that the food that they ate or products that they use such as shampoo are undoubtedly safe and adhere to the syariah law," he told Bernama when met at the Halal Fiesta Malaysia (HALFEST) at Putra World Trade Centre.

He said although products without halal certification are not necessarily non halal but the action of some to use fake halal certification in order to mislead Muslim consumers that their product are halal certified is an immoral action and against the law.

Nadzim said Malaysian halal law was imposed through the amendments to Trade Description Act 1972 which was passed in January 2012 but the enforcement was extended until December this year.

"This is to educate consumers on their rights to choose products that are halal certified and to show local businesses the potential that the halal industry has for them," he said.

Hence, he advised companies that have yet to obtain halal certification from Jakim, to submit their application immediately to enable them to capture the vast potential of halal market locally and abroad.
