The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore has responded to an online post that took issue with a hijab-wearing worker selling pork satay at a pasar malam at Woodlands.
Facebook user Victor Shafeeq Peters said in his post that he was concerned to see a woman wearing a hijab working at a stall that was selling pork satay at a pasar malam at Vista Point in Woodlands.
He also shared a video of himself confronting the workers at MBK Thai Express and asking the woman if she is a Muslim and why she was selling pork.
He included the conversation he had with the stall's boss on the phone and told her 'Muslims cannot sell pork'.
He is heard saying: "How can you do this?"
He then tells her to tell her workers to take down the menu showing pork items.
In his post, he added that he was concerned that other Muslims would assume the stall is halal after seeing the hijab-wearing employee at the stall.
In response to a Stomp query, Muis said they have received several queries regarding this incident and visited MBK Thai Express stall on Tuesday (May 9).
"Based on our visit, there were no halal claims made," a Muis spokesman said.
"The religion of the person serving or preparing the food does not determine its Halal status.
