Address sources of non-halal money instead, Rafidah tells govt 

PRECISELY....EVEN THE 30 THOUSAND FOR ONE HALAL CERTIFICATE IS NOT HALAL

I agree. She should be pm instead of those other posturing politicians

Ini bukan isu YB Teresa, ini adalah isu pertandingan di antara ahli2 politik Melayu yang mana mereka ingin menunjukkan siapa lebih cinta islam, siapa lebih tau Islam dan siapa lebih mempunyai sifat keaslian orang Melayu. Sejurusnya, mereka ini akan dapat sokongan dari golongan melampau itu. YB Teresa itu hanya mangsa kejadian ini sahaja.

Just don't eat in place that doesn't display a halal certificate . What's so difficult about that . Are they saying that people are not intelligent enough to do that and have to be protected from their stupidity .

Alhamdulillah, thank God for Rafidah reminding people about important issues that are stll ongoing and need to be resolved, instead of starting new problems to burden the rakyat and treat Muslims like they're helpless.

YES YES YB Rafidah. Why dont you made a comeback into politics. You will definitely make a GOOD LEADER!

wow! iron women make it spicy! i like the statements made by her.

Respect this Iron Lady 😊😊😊!

One of the sane voices in Malaysia🌹

She is definitely right. 👍👍👍👍👍

Halal certifications is wasting of time and money to the small restaurants

The corrupted politicians too talked about Haram to cover their own involvement .That is the funniest thing.

I have always Like her Political Opinions and never miss her Video. Big Salute to her. I hope the Madani Govt include her in their Cabinet as Senator or Advisor.

Agreed.

Sadly, in our country, corruption is acceptable as it is already a culture, but any issue related to race and religion, we will hear loud noises coming from everywhere. Imagine, someone already jailed by the highest court for corruption, but many of these chaps are trying to free him, saying he is the best leader the country had, disregarding the reason why he was jailed. They are telling the world that corruption is acceptable, which is why these chaps will never raise a sound on corruption committed by politicians, especially by their party mates. Just think what will become of our country if they rule.

The reason why Teresa Kok was rightly defended the constitutionality of religious minorities in her statement and Akmal was defamatory and Jakim and Minister of religious affair unfair and narrow in the lense of religion and Anwar blessing on this matter is wrong according the Constitution is as follows:- The requirement for **Halal certification** to apply to all non-Muslim eateries in Malaysia could indeed raise concerns about its compatibility with the **Malaysian Constitution**, particularly in relation to **freedom of religion** and **economic rights**. Here's a detailed breakdown of the issues surrounding this matter and why it might be considered against the constitution: ### 1. **Freedom of Religion (Article 11)** - **Article 11 of the Malaysian Constitution** guarantees freedom of religion, meaning that every individual has the right to practice their religion freely. Requiring non-Muslim eateries to obtain Halal certification may infringe on this constitutional right. - Non-Muslim-owned eateries, such as those operated by Buddhists, Hindus, or Christians, may not follow Islamic dietary laws as part of their religious or cultural practices. Forcing these establishments to comply with Halal standards could be seen as an imposition of Islamic practices on non-Muslims, thus violating their religious freedom. ### 2. **Economic Freedom (Article 5 and Article 13)** - The **right to livelihood** and **freedom of trade and business** are implied under **Article 5 (Right to life)** and **Article 13 (Right to property)** of the Constitution. Requiring non-Muslim businesses to adhere to Halal standards may burden them financially and restrict their ability to run their businesses as they see fit. - Obtaining Halal certification can be a costly and time-consuming process. Non-Muslim restaurant owners, who may not have a significant Muslim customer base, might be forced to bear unnecessary costs, putting them at an economic disadvantage. ### 3. **Equal Treatment Under the Law (Article 8)** - **Article 8 of the Malaysian Constitution** guarantees equality before the law and prohibits discrimination based on religion. A policy that mandates Halal certification for all eateries, regardless of the religious or cultural background of the owners, may violate this principle of equal treatment. - Non-Muslim businesses being required to follow Islamic dietary laws could be seen as a form of religious discrimination, where non-Muslims are subjected to rules that are specifically designed for Muslims. ### 4. **Voluntary Halal Certification vs. Mandatory Requirement** - Halal certification is generally voluntary in Malaysia, and it is primarily sought by businesses that wish to cater to the Muslim market. If a business chooses not to obtain Halal certification, it does not affect its ability to operate legally, provided it follows food safety and health regulations. - Forcing non-Muslim eateries to apply for Halal certification, even if they do not target Muslim customers, would not only be unnecessary but could also be seen as an overreach of religious regulation into non-Muslim businesses. This would conflict with the spirit of Malaysia's secular legal framework, which allows freedom of religious practice. ### 5. **Cultural and Religious Pluralism** - Malaysia is known for its cultural and religious diversity, with significant populations of non-Muslims, including Buddhists, Hindus, and Christians. A requirement that all eateries, regardless of their target clientele, adhere to Halal standards could undermine this diversity and lead to the dominance of one religious practice over others. - Enforcing Halal certification across the board may also alienate non-Muslim communities and send a message that Islamic practices are being imposed on everyone, contradicting Malaysia’s multicultural identity. ### Conclusion: Requiring **Halal certification** for all eateries, including non-Muslim establishments, would likely violate the **Malaysian Constitution**, particularly **Articles 11 (freedom of religion)** and **8 (equal protection)**, as it imposes religious standards on those who are not obligated to follow them. Halal certification should remain a voluntary process for businesses that wish to cater to the Muslim market, and non-Muslim businesses should not be compelled to adopt practices that are tied to a specific religion. The Constitution guarantees freedom of religion and equal treatment, and enforcing Halal certification on all eateries could infringe on these rights.

setuju..jgn paksa bukan islam nak sediakan makanan ikut cara islam..suka hati dia la nak makan cara dia...apa la kita ni burukan nama islam

Lol.... how about Haram Politicians ?!

Well said

That was a slap to JAKIM🤣🤣🤣

Outsiders can see well and talk sense. Why focus on trivial matters? Focus on more important stuff like eradicating corruptions.

This is Anwar's Reformasi. This is the way he wants to grow the economy. A joke.

Lebih baik panggil balik Datin Rafidah Aziz. Puan masih lagi berfikiran jelas dan wajar. Pemimpin2 harus rasa malu. A great women can still think whats best for the Rakyat.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Well said..

Wish rafidah to replwce anwar

Agreed with Ms Rafidah

Absolutely right👍👍

Yb rafidah has the quality of rhe next PM speak the truth thank u yb

Mahkota , undi untuk Pn. , akmal punya pasal,, undi PN.

The only respectable person still talking sense . It is unfortunate for this country that she is not the PM

👍💪👏🏆Terbaik pencerahan YB Rafidah.

I respect YB Rafidah comments. We Malaysian should show the world how we respect each other in regardless what religion. The unity government should work together to create harmony and united among the citizens. Sarawak is a good example for the west Malaysia to learn. Just like when puasa month the non Muslim will never eat in front of those puasa. This is the act of respect. Na'ma Mokhta jangan lupa peranan anda jaga hamoni masyarakat Malaysia. Other country work hard to create unity and harmony citizens to work together to improve their country economy.

For once i salute RafidaH Aziz for her statement on ongoing Halal certification issue.👍

One wise man once said, taking rasuah in the name of Allah is halal. Thus no such thing as non halal money. 😂😂😂

Totally agree

Money is always halal for many. Because we CANNOT eat money. But, we can use the money to buy food, either halal or haram, depending on your beliefs. 😂🤲🕌🇲🇾❤

Good!

Non halal money comes most from businessmen having good connections with politicians and authorities. Take on these type of businessmen first. They're wealth are unexplainable

Betul dan setuju

We support PN at Mahkota this coming election, to teach him a lesson 🎉🎉🎉

Voice of common sense

Senang je. Lps ni org Islam jgn makan kt kedai bukan islam..kedai steak ke, sushi ke, apa ke..sbb dah shubhah. Boleh juga jatuh makhruh dan haram jika tak patuh syariah. Sape yg rugi? Sendiri boleh fikir.

Most of the imported halal foods or 80% of it is not really halal. This is unless Malaysia produces 70% to 80% of its food locally to ensure that it is really halal as defined by Jakim.

She has a point .

YES YES

Just because you heard Azan everyday doesn't make you an expert in Haram, Halal, Makhruh, Sunat, Wajib and etc. The need to know whether the food is halal or haram is very muslim's responsibility ... for you personally is fardu ain and for the muslim as a society is fardu kifayah. Just mind your religion and we mind ours. Your religion is yours and my religion is mine.

That's a good one. 😂😂😂 There's no such thing since from the nineteen eighties. Every dollar that's in one's pocket is halal.

ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON. Brilliance of Rafidah shines again. She should be in the government's top Advisory panel. Less mistakes and better focus on actual PRIORITIES will be able to be achieved. She would make an excellent Deputy Prime Minister. Far better than the present one for sure. The Certification will cause small businesses to bear huge expenses which will shut them down- is that the motive behind wanting the certification. Is it justified. Look at neighbouring Indonesia and learn.

Thank you Rafidah.

Well said.. 👍

Isu ini setakat Politik Mileage semata2 utk menawan hati & mghasut rakyat utk mjatuhkan Parti Politik & mbubarkan Parlimen bg mghentikan kes2 mahkamah yg tgh berjln. Biarlah Owner Restoran Non Muslim yg mbuat kputusan samada mereka berminat dgn pelanggan Islam ataupun tidak. JAKIM tidak perlu memaksa sbb jarang & mmg takdaknya org Melayu masuk mjamah mkanan di Restoran Non Muslim wlaupun tidak dihidangkan lembu, babi & arak sekalipun.

Where is Akkkmallll??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

She's talking about these and everybody's forgot about her AP scandal but one point from YB Teresa that I'm agree with is about the cost to get the halal license. Maybe JAKIM needs to lower down the cost if they can't make it free. I don't buy what Rafidah is talking about while some of the them are urging her to get back to politics....👏👏👏👏

PMX gave JAKIM 2 Billions budget for racial religious bullying

Yang tak pakai tudung tu halal ke haram

What the hell is this. What is going on, trying to make the small issue become a big issue. It's not a big issue at all, just wait the final say from PM. Wah seronok ek dapatkan interview and quote from 'all this hipster modern people' ek. Nice try

Rafidah aziz cakap tu betul. Rakyat malaysia nak muak dgn issu SD. Halal haram..dah meluat dgn blogger yg mengaut dosa dgn mengapi api kan keadaan. RapK sempat rak minta maaf pada Mahadir. PMX. Najib dan banyak lagi. Sepatutnya dua bantak bertaubat sebelum mati.

With Anwar as PM the country is in trouble because he dont know how to rule the country. Useless Madani government.

This was the lady who unashamedly told the malaysian public that Anwar injured his own eye. And she was a minister then.

Select her as Senator with Avtar Singh Siti Kassim bring some sanity to running of this goverment.

The whole idea of halal certification is so that they can make more money out of the food businesses.

Cukai arak dengam judi, kerajaan tak mau pisahkan dan pakai untuk hal berkaitan dengan kafir, langsung tak layan. Entah untuk apa mereka pakai duit haram tu😢

No need to make it mandatory. Let the Muslims decide whether to buy from any establishments which does not display the "halal" certicate. Issue solved.

I sulute. What non Malays got to do with Halal issue. Politics conpiracy

We see $$$$$$ on his forehead????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Rafidah for PM 💪💪💪

Yes, you are right Rafidah!!!!! In Malaysian corruption is Halal and OK, all others NOT Halal. We got got more problems then this .

aku masih ingat time rafidah dlm kabinet pun mcm2 cerita kluar,termasuk menantunya tiba2 jd millionaire berlipat kali ganda ......but then she was an "expert" in corruption so she can has some say in this matter🤣

Ts has gotta be satire😭😭😭

It a wonder that CORRUPTION is not made THE MOST IMPORTANT issue ! Malaysia politicians has till today not proved to its citizens & the world that it is SERIOUS about eradicating CORRUPTION ! May God bless Malaysia !

We miss her dearly!

Politicians making a mess in Malaysia with unnecessary statements and corruption. Lack of Care and Service oriented activities.

We have 1'st class of facility.. but with fourth class of mentality... 😢😢

Making halal certification mandatory is just another way for these haram little napoleans to line their pockets with even more non-halal money while 'appearing' to be the defenders of Islam. Thank you, YB Rafidah, for speaking up. Most politicians in Msia don't deserve that YB honorific, but every time you resurface as the voice of sanity on our nation's politics and policies, you show us that you deserve the respect conferred by that YB title.

Rafidah PMXI

Halal is more than just not serving pork and alcohol isn't it?

Well2...as far as money is concerned there's no such thing as a halal certificate, there's no-holds barred lol.

Rakyat bantah habis habisan budaya fitnah dan korupsi di kalangan wakil rakyat dan pemimpin negara! Biar mahkamah putuskan sengketa antara tokoh politik! Kita rakyat hanya minat pada keputusan mahkamah.

Long ago, we never had any certificates for food ... .the Arabs, the Indians and others who came to spread their religion did the preaching based upon the conviction that if you believed in the religion you had to be true and to do what was expected of you .. not for others to force you to do right or insist that was right ..or that was wrong ... unless it was so obvious that the act would bring shame to the faith while also wanting to say you believe in it Let the raayat have more freedom to think what is right and what is wrong . Not many of the raayat are saints , holy men , or preachers, and not necessary to have heavenly values to be carried out in their worldly affairs

That’s exactly what Teresa Kok meant. Not necessary to make halal certification mandatory for all restaurants since Customers have a choice where to eat if in doubt. Eg Johorians too have a choice not to drink treated water from Singapore if they are in doubt too.

Im so Touched with Rafidah.. 👍 Good old Metal Datin ( wanita besi ) But all level of the Law should be on-going ( tersisa koq is basicly on mukim & daerah level)

If Mr. A took a bribe ... his sinful action is haram. That Mr. A is sinner "berdosa" from islamic perspective... the money/currency is not haram "berdosa" because it is just a tool and not a human being that has a will. Islam is logic ... don't make yourself stupid just because you know muslim prays 5 times a day and fasting during ramadhan. What you know is only peanuts.

Duit yg halal pun ghaib berbilion billion. Kalau hilang 10 sen memang payah cari siapa yg curi.

Yes how much cashes coming from selling non halal foods.Will the govt. do.

Just closed Jakim

I will never trust her ! Meliwat lebeh sedap, you can ask any of them ! Was'salam

You must.be have full knowledge when YOU were the a minister for so long especially at MITI.

i thnik that gud, no pork no alcohol = halal, gud for non muslim busines

Ye tak ye jugak ye... Makan makanan halal Jakim, bayar nya pakai duit haram...ish ish ish ishhh....

Hallo Rafidah …. How about 5 graft cases in 1995 against ( allocated millions shares to son in law etc ) you ? Ezam was sent 2 years jail under OSA due revealing these graft cases …. maybe of your short memory ! Still remember good old Malay Proverb : Kokok berderai2 , ekor gelumang dgn tahi

Malaysia oh my malaysia 😢

Where can... U touching their periuk nasi already. Haha

Mana bole... semo sudah turun kemurun pakai sudah halal maaaa

These guys have nothimg better to do. What they actually want is more money for Halal certification so they make up unecessary rules.

Kepada mereka2 yang beragama Islam jangan lah hendak nyer berkerja di kedai2 non muslim walaupun kedai tersebut tidak ada pork etc..

A lot political think about money how much they can get but not think about public and small SME.....I am muslim about eat I can eat any place which no pork, no others animal food that I not ate and alcohol..Do U think got halal logo 100% halal. 100% halal is eat at home. The Madani team special big boss are bull shit too...they said Madani but what Madani do and not talk each others which is better before other MP voice up....por dah in..na..deh..bull shit all...tak boleh pakai.

All need to be halal.!

wat does she mean by non halal money????????

What halal is not wajib?

termakan makanan haram sbb x taw berbanding makan rasuah secara rela. yg mana lg bahaya atau teruk?
