KUALA LUMPUR: The Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) will issue a list of licensed meat importers in the country to reduce public concern over their halal status, says Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Seri Dr Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri.
He said further discussions were also being held with Jakim’s Halal Management Division to resolve the matter.
“I understand that the licence to sell the meat also involves other ministries. Therefore, we will work more closely with the ministries involved.
“I will look into this issue and review any problems related to Jakim’s halal (certification).
