Kuala Lumpur: The proposal to implement mandatory halal certificates for business owners is still at an early stage, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Mohd Na’im Mokhtar.
The religious affairs minister said that an in-depth study and research is needed before making any decisions.
“So it is only a proposal at the early stage, which requires in depth study and research. Once the the in-depth study and research is done, then we can say if it applies to all types of restaurants, for Muslims and non-Muslims,” Na’im told reporters after the national Maulidur Rasul celebration here, today.
