PUTRAJAYA: The setting up of a Halal Professional Board – a database for halal consultants to advise businesses – should be prioritised, said Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

“Some Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have complained of unqualified or even bogus businessmen who call themselves halal certification professionals,” said Dr Wee.
