KUALA LUMPUR: There should be a clear demarcation of power in the proposed Halal Act that identifies the scope and parameters of the Islamic Development Department (Jakim).
Prominent lawyer Nizam Bashir said the law had been mooted by the department’s Halal Hub Division since 2009, with the motivating factor of providing the authorities with more bite and clearer authority when dealing with halal-related matters.
He said Jakim, an agency under the Prime Minister’s Department, now functioned without the benefit of an appropriate statutory framework.
He said this was “certainly untenable” when it came to Jakim’s jurisdictions and its impact on the public.
