Did Jakim really botch up on the Cadbury porcine DNA saga?

Ridhuan Tee, our nation's foremost Malay (constitutionally, that is), was reported by the Malay Mail Online as calling for the Shutdown [of] Cadbury factory as lesson to the ‘ultra kiasu’ because of Jakim's finding that there were porcine DNA in Cadbury's chocolate almond bars.



I wonder whether I could impose on Jakim to also test another batch of 'DNA', wakakaka.

With squared jaw and steely eyes, the Pahlawan Melayu stated courageously: “I have always said, do not trust the ultra kiasu, I refer to those who oppose Islam and always want to win."

I wonder who's the ultra kiasu he's referring to. Wait, there's only one ultra kiasu he refers to regularly, so please consider my question as rhetorical (where I know the answer oledy, wakakaka).

But wait again! Maybe my guess of the ultra kiasu might be wrong. For a person who's not confident of his claimed 'belongings', whose subconscious keeps telling him that his 'DNA' is not what the Constitution says otherwise, surely he has to be the ultimate ultra kiasu.



By the by, in earlier days he and Miss Muffet were mutually antagonistic to each other, with him describing Miss Muffet as ultra kiasu. I wonder whether they have made up (kissy kissy, cium, cium) since they are now on the same side of the longkang? wakakaka.

Kiasu-speak: “We have to be firm, no more compromise. No need to burn down the factory as some extremists proposed. Revoke the licence. Close down the chocolate factory. This is a particularly important lesson to other companies.”

Did he say 'as some extremists proposed .....'? wakakaka.

Continuing: “I worry that in the future we would be consuming pork even though not in the form of a real pig. My reminders to Muslims; First, do not get too excited about the food produced by the ultra kiasu."



I am puzzled as to why Muslims get so enthused as to go to ultra kiasu shops although they don’t have halal certification from Jakim, yong tau foo shops, coffee shops, bakeries with alcohol in their products and more."

I must ask Dr Mahathir whether his bakery The Loaf might fall under Ridhuan Tee's consideration? wakakaka.

By the way, should I remind Ridhuan Tee about Empat Ekor shops, someone going on an all expense paid Haj (not his own money, wakakaka), gang rape, statutory rapes, casino patrons and the recent sinister sleazy and sickening politicized pariah-ish Pinoy-ization of Dyana Sofya, and the corruption and the abuses by various government authorities that he someone misses all through these years.

He said (I believe rather pompously):“No one is rejecting peace and unity, but those who have ill-intentions, must be taught a lesson.”

'No one is rejecting peace and unity'? wakakaka.

'Ill-intentions'? Don't tell me Cadbury, a world class producer/manufacturer would resort to such sinister designs.


Cadbury's 2011 advertisement (left side only)

But Naomi Campbell (right side) was so pissed off at 

what she saw as a racist allusion to her dark skin.

even though the ad did not mention her name in full, 

the mention of diva' appeared to associate the 'Naomi' with her.

Cadbury pulled out the ad after she indicated she would sue

Dearie me oh dear!

But wait, Jakim has now gostarn (belakang pusing)!

The Malay Mail Online reported in Now, Jakim says Cadbury chocolates never contained pig DNA:

Dr Jamil Khir Baharom, the minister in charge of Islamic religious affairs, said 11 samples of the confectionary giant’s Cadbury Dairy Milk Hazelnut and the Cadbury Dairy Milk Roast Almond were sent straight from the factory to a special accredited laboratory for testing.

“Pig DNA was not found in the samples,” he told reporters here.

Cadbury’s Malaysian outfit had scrambled to recall two batches of chocolate products found tainted with porcine DNA by the Health Ministry last Saturday.

But Jamil Khir said today that the tests conducted by the Health Ministry could have been flawed as the samples were not brought in directly from Cadbury’s factory.

There was a possibility that the previous sample testing could have been “contaminated”, resulting in porcine DNA being detected, he added.


I have to admit I thought what a bloody coincidence that the moment the Teluk Intan by-election result was known, there's a second piece of good news for the government who must have been worried about pious Malays considering even blood transfusion.

Mind you, blood transfusion might possibly have excited someone, wakakaka.

Any chance of Cadbury suing Jakim?

  5. The choc manufacturer may have suffered severe damage to its reputation and business prospects because of the allegation that pig DNA has been found in some of its products.

    It is generally agreed that if someone spreads lies that damage your reputation, the best way to deal with it is to sue the culprit until he/she is bankrupt and is reduced to grovelling at your feet to beg for mercy.

    Things can get interesting soon ..... will the choc manufacturer go to court to seek a multi-million ringgit compensation for damage to its reputation and to its business?

    1. there is a Chinese in Penang who is by birth an indian but because he was brought up by a Chinese family he is Chinese culturally, socially, and most important of all, mentally or attitude-wise (note I didn't mention his religion because most Chinese consider religion a personal issue). I bet he dreams in Chinese.

      thus Zairil being the stepson of Khir Johari was brought up as a Malay religiously, culturally, socially and mentally (attitude-wise), as would be babies of non-Malay ethnicity brought up as Malays. again, I imagine they dream in Malay.

      There are some (originally non) Malays who weren't brought up in such Malay environment (as RTA confessed, he raised pigs etc) but who became Malays by virtue of their becoming Muslims, practising Malay customs and adopting the lifestyle (dress, language etc) and culture of the Malays. They are constitutional Malays, with some still speaking English, Tamil, Chinese, etc.

      The latter group dream of becoming/being accepted as full blooded Malays

  11. The Cadbury/Halal fiasco is simply another case of Malaysia being able to buy 1st World hardware, but incapable of managing the process at a software (processes and manpower) level.

    The Halal compliance unit has Multi-Million Ringgit equipment which can test for porcine DNA at molecular-level. We are talking about nano-gram level, billionths-of-a-gram.

    At that minute level of concentration, the sampling procedure, the sample packaging and sealing, proper flushing of the equipment after the previous test , avoiding contamination, training of personnel, strict adherence to procedure all have critical impact on producing meaningful conclusions from the tests.

    Otherwise the test result, whatever it is is useless, worse than useless.

    It looks likely now there is no actual pork contamination of the chocolate.
    Somewhere, the samples or the equipment used or the way it was handled ended up with minute traces of pork DNA showing up, but there is no actual pork in the chocolate itself.

    Black eye, more on the Government departments involved, not Cadbury.

    PS. In my time I've been involved in such similar tests, more related to medical testing, not "Halal" food but the principles and protocosl are the same.

    If you recall recent history, this isn't the first high-profile case where DNA sampling and testing has been handled in a negligent manner in Malaysia.

    In the other case, a man may go to jail for years based on a sample handling process which should have been rejected. A supposedly crime-related DNA sample kept in an unrefrigerated office filing cabinet.

    Yes, this is Malaysia.

    "Regardless, the reality, by ethnic origin, indisputable fact is he is a Malay only via Constitutional provision, thus a constitutional Malay"

    Alamak KT, before the formation of Malaysia, before the 1957 constitution, he would still be considered a Malay. "Masuk Melayu" predates the constitution.

    All that does not change the fact that you were using this as a taunt. Ad hominem is ad hominem. Zairil Khir Johari, Chinese baby girls adopted by Malays are all constitutional Malays.

    It is also indisputable that the late Karpal Singh was a bhai and Lim Kit Siang is an Ah Pek. Why did they complain when they were called that?

    Nothing like pure disingenuousness to cover up an ad hominem attack.

      So when you choose an identity different from the one expected from the community you were born in, you lose your identity? So people must obey your norms and conventions to avoid your taunts?

      So, when people have an opinion you oppose, his communal identity is fair game?

      So, in a debate, it is acceptable to speculate on your opponents subconscious as a form of attack?

      You have now gone beyond ad hominem!

    6. Aha, naughty of you to quote me OUT of context. I wrote (this time bolding some words for your attention, wakakaka): "Chinese online or otherwise ONLY NOTICE his ultra kiasu-ness WHEN he kept attacking them ..."

      Chinese owuld have left him alone or even don't notice him if he hadn't attacked them. So they asked: why is this ethnic Chinese (yes, a Musklim but nonetheless a Chinese) keep attacking them?

      They came up with the answer that in his "... series of efforts ..." he was "... probably [trying]to prove to and assure his claimed community he is indeed a Malay and not the ethnic Chinese he is and which he must have wish he isn't", wakakaka again.

      There is usually a reason for an ethnic Chinese (regardless of his religion or constitutional status, wakakaka) to keep attacking his own ethnic group.

      Do you ever come across Omar Ong Yoke Lin (or his family) or any of the Ma family (Dato' Haji Mustafa Ma is the president of MACMA) attacking Chinese the way the constitutional Malay does?

    4. (former) DAP Batu Kawan9:48 am, June 05, 2014

      PKR has rightly been condemned for its dishonest polls.
      However, any independent observer would see that the DAP's polls were equally dodgy, if not even more dodgy than PKR's.

      DAP's polls only required 1 count conducted within a few hours in 1 place (Penang's PISA stadium actually), and only involved counting a few hundred votes. No complex logistics, no complicated procedure required.

      It should have been a no brainer to have the DAP CEC polls done correctly. A very junior school-leaver clerk could have done the tallying job correctly.

      Yet, more than a week later DAP came back an announced totally different "amended" results. If they came back with a few wrongly counted votes it could have been forgivable, but the way the results were a total, complete about-turn stinks to high heaven.

      The So-Called independent audit fails to rebuild any confidence.

      The chain of custody and security of the so-called "votes" from the time the initial results were announced until the auditors validated it is not assured. The auditors reported what they saw, but were these really the original votes ?
      Who knows what "magic" was performed on the ballots in the two weeks interval ?

      I vowed never to vote for DAP again that day.
      As far as I'm concerned DAP has been exposed as a deeply dishonest party.

    The Federal Constitution defines the term “Malay” in the following manner:

    “Malay” means a person who professes the religion of Islam, habitually speaks the Malay language, conforms to Malay custom"....

    So if a Malay suddenly opts out of his religion of Islam and habitually converse in English language......is he now defined as a non Malay ? What race is he now then ? Anyway....can Malay be truly be classified as a 'RACE' ?

  17. Melayu Singapura11:19 am, June 05, 2014

    Many, many years later, a British staff who served the Reid Commission was questioned during an interview why they allowed such a racist clause defining "Malayness" to be inserted into the Malayan constitution.
    The answer was that the Malays, especially UMNO and the Rulers had insisted on the clause providing for the Special Position of the Malays (not special rights, mind you) (Article 153) . Since this clause had legal standing, it became necessary to define elsewhere in the Constitution who exactly qualifies to be a Malay.

    The exact wording was the subject of intense debate.
    Some wanted a strict definition by birth, but since many "Malays" in Malaya were born in what is now Indonesia or even India, they ultimately settled on a cultural/religious definition.
    You didn't have to be born of Malay parents, you didn't have to be born in Malaya, you just had to profess the religion of Islam, habitually speak the Malay language, conform to Malay custom......now...almost anyone could be a Malay by choice....even Ktemoc if he so chooses (wakakakaka)

    So...that's how Malaysia ended up with a very racist Constitution, which will stand for as long as Malaysia exists in its current form.

    BTW, Singapore's constitution also has a clause stating "Special Position of the Malays", but its amazing how both Malaysia and Singapore have in practice bastardized this originally well-intentioned clause.

    Malaysia has used Article 153 to justify all manner of abuse of power to enrich Cronies closely connected to the Ruling party, as well as all kinds of privileges far beyond the original wording.

    Singapore's Article 152 , on the other hand, has been purely decorative. There are no government programs , processes whatsoever to address Article 152. Strictly window dressing.

I guess it would be near impossible to monitor who are the original ones. Hence, the complete mix-up of all eligible to be called Malays.
