Don’t Confuse Muslims with Ramadan Buffet without ‘Halal’ Certificate

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom said action under the Trade Description Act 2011 could be taken against them. “During Ramadan, there are restaurants, hotels and food premises offering Ramadan buffet. “I want to remind the operators concerned that under the Trade Description Act, it is an offence for those who do not have the halal certificate, to display (food) items they are selling as halal. “This include the context of using the words ‘Ramadan Buffet’,” he told a media conference after presenting contributions to mosques in the Jerai parliamentary constituency here today. A total of 43 mosques received RM1, 000 each from the federal government to carry out programmes for the coming Ramadan.
