Halal Cert POWER UP

[saratogas]

Very soon Halal certification laws will get a power up under proposed changes to the law governing Muslim affairs.

Owner of companies that misuse certificates or logos to say their food is halal - permissible under Muslim law - could soon face a jail term of up to 12 months or a fine of up to $10,000, or both. Currently, only the companies can be fined up to $10,000.

Another key change tabled on Monday is on raising the minimum marriage age for Muslims from 16 to 18. The move aims to tackle the community's high divorce rates by sending a signal that minor marriages, which tend to be less stable, are not desirable.

The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) has asked a hotel along Bras Basah Road to explain its use of the halal logo in one of its cafes following complaint from a member of the public, that their breaking of fast buffet actually has not been certified halal by MUIS. (I wonder how the customer know?)

So don't play play with this LOGO,

In this case, they're being ignorant liao... That's why they need to be reigned in. But I feel this is too harsh... Proper education needs to be addressed and shared abt wat is Halal or not. A lot of my Muslim friends complain abt the No Pork No Lard sign at some stalls... "No Pork No Lard" doesn't mean it's Halal...

Education are for real singaporeans, not for sinkies.
