Teresa Kok and DAP should not have commented.

However, if it cannot be made free, then what do you do with the poor retailers?
I am okay if it's free and mandatory.

At the expense of non-halal sectors? Malaysia’s heavy focus on promoting itself as a global halal hub, while beneficial in some ways, may divert attention and resources away from other sectors that have the potential for growth. For instance, non-halal industries, such as certain areas of technology, education, and tourism, may not receive the same level of support or investment, even though they could drive economic diversification and expansion. Neighboring countries with more balanced economic strategies can capitalize on these missed opportunities, leaving Malaysia behind.
