PETALING JAYA: Risda’s move to issue its own halal logo for Muslim-made products contravenes the law, says the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim).
Jakim director-general Tan Sri Othman Mustapha said despite the good intentions, Risda (Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority) should have sought the necessary permission from the relevant agencies.
Failure to do so contravenes the Trade Descriptions Act 2011, which forbids any other party to issue halal recognition certificates on their own without approval from Jakim.
