He said the new committee, to be chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, will ensure there is synergy between all agencies, departments and ministries to propel the halal industry further.
“It will be a big loss for us if the global acknowledgement that has been given to the Malaysian halal industry is not paid attention to. We must congratulate the Islamic Development Department of Malaysia for having pioneered halal certification. The Prime Minister said that halal is not only popular among Muslims but also among many others because of its cleanliness and good content.
“The synergy between the certification and the promotion of the halal industry is important,” he added. “We should upgrade Islamic finance instruments so that they can be absorbed into the international economic architecture,” said Anwar, adding that the halal industry could be worth more than US$1 trillion .
He added that Jakim is working towards the standardisation of halal standards between different countries and industries and making full use of high technology.
