MELAKA: Missionary and Chinese secondary schools in the state have separate canteens serving purely halal food out of respect for Muslim students, and there is nothing wrong with this, says MP for Kota Melaka Khoo Poay Tiong (pic).

He said halal sections were made available some 15 years ago to cater to the rising number of Muslims students in missionary schools, purely to give an option for those students.
