JOHOR BARU: The Johor Hardware, Machinery and Building Material Merchants Association (JHMBA) has welcomed the decision by the Government on having a separate section selling non-halal products at all hardware outlets.  

This was disclosed by State Tourism, Domestic Trade and Consumerism committee chairman Datuk Tee Siew Kiong, who said the Government's move was appropriate to prevent certain quarters from fanning sensitive issues.
