PETALING JAYA: The government has been urged to focus on more pressing matters like alleged sexual abuses suffered by children in religious welfare homes instead of halal certifications for food outlets.
Former law minister Zaid Ibrahim took to X, formerly Twitter, to call out the recent announcement by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar that the Islamic Development Department (Jakim) was looking at mandatory halal certification for certain restaurants and food operators.
