The announcement was made in Kuala Lumpur. It states that owners of slaughterhouse facilities must be required to hold the Malaysia Halal Certification (SPHM). The push for the certification is intended to resolve uncertainty among Muslim consumers about the halal status of meat. The requirement is presented as a measure to eliminate confusion surrounding the halal designation. The call emphasizes that without the SPHM, the public may remain unsure whether certain poultry products meet halal standards. Implementing the mandatory certification would therefore aim to provide clear assurance to the Muslim community.
