Halal cert applications must be resolved within 30 working days, says Zahid


KUALA LUMPUR: Decisions on applications for halal certificates must be made within 30 working days and there should be no excuse for delays, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The Deputy Prime Minister said this was because there have been complaints suggesting that the application process has taken from nine months to two years, with some applicants receiving rejection notices only after two years.
