KUALA LUMPUR: Those who boycott products made by non-Muslims and buy only from their own race or religion are not only divisive but can cause workers, including their own kind, to lose jobs if businesses are affected or if they go bust, cautions the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF).
Its executive director Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan said in consuming halal products, Muslims could consume them regardless of whether the product was produced by a company owned by a Muslim or non-Muslim, as long as it is certified halal by the authorities.
