KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 9 — The Negri Sembilan Islamic Religious Affairs Department (JHEAINS) said yesterday it conducted a spot-check on a kopitiam located at Kuala Pilah, following complaints that the premise is frequented by many Muslims patrons.

In a statement on its official Facebook page, the enforcers said its checks found that the restaurant does not have any halal certification, even as the diner has never claimed so.

“Our checks found out that the premises did not employ any Muslim cooks and the cooking ingredients used were also not certified halal,” it said.

Following its findings, JHEAINS even urged Muslims to avoid patronising food premises with no halal certifications.

While JHEAINS did not list the name of the premises, it is understood to be Kedai Makanan dan Minuman Sinaran — a famous local Hailam kopitiam — located at Jalan Yam Tuan Raden which has been in operation since colonial times.

The kopitiam which has been around since the 1940s does not serve pork, and its daily menu includes the usual kopitiam fare such as kaya toast, boiled eggs, nasi lemak, fried noodles, and an assortment of kuih.

kt notes:

"Since 1940" means Muslims have been eating there for 80 years. Now these JA-organisations want to make life difficult for Muslims by imposing a modern JA-required certification which ONLY benefits the JA-organisations but which could NOT even jaga imported meat to be halal or disease-free, for 40 years.

This non-Muslim coffee shop has done better than JAKIM to protect Muslim dietary requirements.

  1. It is a matter of time and some legislative steps before it is Syariah offence for Muslims to eat at anything other than a Halal-certified food outlet.
