Festive wishes are allowed on products if they are produced not to be displayed in halal-certified premises or products with the halal logo.
PUTRAJAYA:Festive wishes are allowed on products if they are produced not to be displayed in halal-certified premises or on products with the halal logo.
Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) deputy director-general (operations), Datuk Abdul Aziz Jusoh said there were no provisions for other religious celebrations in the Malaysia Halal Certification (Domestic) Procedure Manual 2020.
"This manual and the Malaysian Halal Management System (MHMS) only apply to applicants and holders of the Malaysia Halal Certificate," he said in a statement, here, today.
A portal reported that a store rejected a customer's request to write "Merry Christmas" on the cake he ordered to be delivered to his friend because it was in the process of getting a halal certificate from Jakim.
