Kuala Lumpur: The use of a symbol that can influence or mislead consumers especially Muslims, should be prohibited from use in this country.
Johor Mufti, Datuk Tahrir Shamsuddin, said there was a brand name or symbol that manipulate by some manufacturers in order to attract Muslim consumers to buy their products.
As a result, consumers need to be careful because not all the product that uses the sign or symbol of Islam is pure and clean.
Consumers being deceive
"If a symbol is used in a product, can influence their consumers to be deceived, then it should be prohibited."
"Goods that have a halal symbol that recognized by Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) only considered as reliable kosher," he said when contacted yesterday.
Secretary General of the Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia (PPIM), Datuk Dr Maamor Osman said this act clearly does not respect Muslim sensitivities and stern action should be taken against the operators.
