PARLIAMENT | Higher Education Minister Zambry Abdul Kadir has highlighted the Islamic Development Department’s (Jakim) delay in facilitating companies’ applications for halal certification.
The BN senator said this in clarifying a government audit’s finding detailing that the Canselor Tuanku Muhriz Hospital (HCTM) had awarded a three-year RM25.64 million catering contract to a company that did not possess halal certification from Jakim.
