No urgency for new halal law, says Na’im

Minister cites adequacy of current regulations such as Trade Descriptions Act 2011, related state enactments

KUALA LUMPUR – There is no necessity to enact a new law on halal certification now, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Mohd Na’im Mokhtar.

He said the Trade Descriptions Act 2011 and subsidiary laws such as Trade Descriptions (Certification and Marking of Halal) Order 2011 and Trade Descriptions (Definition of Halal) Order 2011, as well as enactments in states, are still relevant to meet the current needs and requirements of the country.

Na’im said that in order to pass a specific halal law, it is necessary to study the various laws that are currently in force, whether they are federal or state laws.

“At the moment, the government is of the view that the existing laws and enactments in the states are still relevant and meet the current needs and requirements,” he said when winding up the debate on the motion of the 12th Malaysia Plan Mid-Term Review here today.

Meanwhile, Na’im said that a total of 8,272 industrial companies currently hold the Malaysian halal certificate (SPHM), while the number of small and medium-sized businesses holding the SPHM is 7,306.

Of that number, 3,270 are SPHM holders in the Bumiputera company category, he said. – September 25, 2023
