Minister says local authorities which enforce such a rule will be overstepping the Islamic development department's jurisdiction.
The article discusses a statement by Nga Kor Ming, the Local Government Development Minister of Malaysia, who clarified that local councils do not have the authority to mandate halal certification for business license renewals. This statement was made in response to concerns raised by the Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organizations (Mapim) about the potential negative impact on non-Muslim businesses. Nga emphasized that while halal certification is encouraged, it should not be a compulsory requirement for license renewals, as this could lead to discrimination against non-Muslim entrepreneurs. He highlighted that the decision to obtain halal certification should be left to the business owners themselves, ensuring that all businesses, regardless of the owner's faith, can operate freely. This approach aims to foster inclusivity and support the diverse business community in Malaysia.
