A LARGE number of X users criticised the use of Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) Halal logo with ‘Dijamin Halal’ written on it alongside a poster of the Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) candidate during the Mahkota nomination day yesterday (Sept 14), saying it is rude and a violation of a commercial symbol.
The post from PKR Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin garnered much attention, with comments from X users. Most of the remarks condemn PN for the use of the logo during the nomination day.
The MP said he is confused about the use of the logo by PN, questioning how a party and its candidate can get the ‘dijamin halal’ logo. The sarcasm does not end there.
An X user asked which department of JAKIM handles this apparent new offering, that is candidates with halal certificates and logo.
However, another user believes PN has lost the plot, similar to the display of ubi kayu during the Kuala Kubu Bharu (KKB) nomination day in April. Pakatan Harapan defeated the PN candidate in the by-election.
But for user @FiqRSSB, while it is an apparent serious offence, she asked political leaders and parties to explain who issued the certificate for the candidate. She also asked why some people are silent on this. Is it because this joke is not from the DAP? - Sept 15, 2024

Not a laughing matter.
If Jakim has his way after mandatory halal certification for business a day will come where everything will need certification of halal and non halal/haram.
You IC will be with new label as halal and non-halal/haram

Semua tak halal. All the activities and certs. Halal certification is not mentioned in Islamic scripture, which emphasizes personal responsibility in dietary laws. Its rise is linked to capitalist interests, turning religious compliance into a profitable industry. Critics argue that this commercialization exploits consumer trust, prioritizing profit over spiritual essence, and creates unnecessary reliance on certification bodies.

These religious texts define what is halal (permissible) and haram (forbidden), but they do not outline a bureaucratic system of certification. The emphasis is on individual responsibility and awareness of what is consumed. There is no mention of a third-party entity being required to validate halal status, indicating that halal certification as a formal institution is purely a man-play-g*d construct.

Exposing wolves in sheep's clothing: Vested Interests and Capitalism: The rise of halal certification can be argued to have economic motivations. As global trade expanded, particularly in the food and consumer goods sectors, the halal label became a powerful tool for businesses to access Muslim markets. Companies and certification bodies began to capitalize on the religious beliefs of consumers, turning halal into a profitable industry. This institutionalization of halal can be seen as part of unscrupulous capitalism, where businesses seek to maximize profit by creating the need for certification, often charging high fees for certification processes that might not have religious necessity.
