KUALA LUMPUR: The country’s halal industry players should be judicious when sharing knowledge, strategies and marketing tactics on halal product certification and production with other countries in order to maintain Malaysia’s edge in the area, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also Halal Industry Development Council chairman, said excessive information sharing may cause other countries to imitate Malaysia’s approach, thereby affecting the country’s position as a leader in halal products since 1974.
