It says this will prevent Muslims from unknowingly buying goods made from prohibited sources

KUALA LUMPUR: The Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia (PPIM) has urged traders to place an image of a pig or dog on any products which use parts of the animals.

Its chairman, Nadzim Johan, said the move was aimed at preventing Muslims from unknowingly purchasing goods made from prohibited sources.

“For example, not all users know the word ‘porcine’ found on the label of products referring to pork.

 “However, if the image of a pig was placed on the product concerned, everyone including the children would know it is made using parts of the animal,” he said during a press conference when commenting on the issue of pig bristle brushes here today.

Nadzim said this was not a political, religious or racial issue as the existing law under the Trade Descriptions Act 2011 has stated that products made from pigs or dogs should be labelled accordingly.

Under the same act, the products concerned are required to be placed in a separate location within the premises.

The domestic trade, cooperatives and consumerism ministry had previously given traders a period of one month from Feb 9 to label products made of animal furs and to specifically state if they are made from the parts of pigs or dogs

What is happening in Malaysia . all of sudden it is becoming like a scene from the movie animal farm oink oink

Boycott – Is there one going on or people do not have money to shop for groceries or eat at Restaurants

Lately from a couple of months ago do not see the rush crowd at Mydin Mall in USJ1 . It used to be a time when to find parking even at the uncovered area was a nightmare and now one round can find a parking lot at the covered car park under the Mydin Mall. The casher counters were at one time 70 to 100% open but today could see only 6 counters open and not much queue at the cashier counter and also the supermarket can count the number of shoppers. Good for shoppers but bad for Mydin supermarket. The eating stalls area a lot of empty seats and tables and this is during the lunch time.

 

 

Curious did not see the usual Chines crowd. The Chinese or none Malay shopper’s cart easily when at cashiers , the tilt rings between 300 to 500 Ringgit and a typical Malay or Indon shopper cart is below RM 100 or most 150 and that also loaded with the low end groceries .

 

 

Back to Nasi Kandar restaurants and Kayu as an example, no lunch hour crowd and hardly any Chinese. Then to McDonalds same problem and no queue, good for the dinners. Talking about other halal places same problem.

 

Maybe the Chinese are blaming the Mamaks for stirring up trouble from paint brushes to no outside birthday cake at McDonalds or other fast food restaurants. Cannot blame them as the Mamaks have taken over in UMNO and also most ministers look like Mamaks.

Then again maybe MO1 is punishing the mamaks by getting MCA, MIC and Gerakan to boycott the Mamaks business for supposedly support and mamak to edge out MO1.

Darn these Malaysia politics get confusing day by day but the Chinese have known to voice their displeasure thru their wallet. Maybe the Non Malays like to go to supermarket where can but non halal food stuff like bacon ham, Beer, wines, liquor under one roof

But could it be the GST monster with GST charged along the supply chain and ends up 15% instead of 6% of the gross value of the product. When you take out the Ringgit from the pocket, it only comes out as 85cents and not 100 cents because of GST and have to buy less 15%. Or worse the unemployed do not have any money left to feed or buy and anything else. No money no talk, got money can talk

1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) getting robbed and bankrup - Do I care , no I do not

1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), am I bothered that that the fund is going to be bankrupt and drag the government down and the government going bankrupt, a Big No as it is the least of my worries because if the money was not stolen it would end up for the Bumis as scholarship, government contracts, more money for GLCs for GLCs to hire more Bumi employees and money for the GLCs to buy political favors and have fantastic holidays for them and their families, 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB)re money for government to hire Bumi graduates , spend more and more money on Bumis and for the politicians to steal more money thru corruption , no it is not my problem as the money was never intended for the non-Bumis so why worry. In reality the Bumi politicians are just siphoning money intended for the Common Bumi folks.

 

So go on stealing the government money and hurt your own kind. If the Bumis do not realize that they are getting deprived of scholarships. Contracts, government jobs, GLCs jobs, loans etc., than they have to wake up and do something about it. Best for the non-Bumi politicians to stay out of this as no money was intended or going to help the non-Bumis.

 

I am more interest the state government which is elected as it controls the local town council, look at Subang Jaya town council MPSJ as a ratepayer disgust at MPSJ playing favorites, When there water crisis the areas where the Politicians and MPSJ staff stays gets the water tankers first, same when breakdown it rubbish collection, it only affect the others but not the areas when politicians or MPSJ Staff stays. Same with the tarring of the roads, only the places where the Politicians or MPSJ staff stays get tarred and since 2008 my neighbor roads have not been tarred but the others have their roads tarred more than twice. We pay same council taxes as others but are treated differently.

 

Come this Elections PRU14 the governing state government is going to get a hell of a rude shock as the services really sucks in Selangor as the politicians have their own agenda and spend too much of their time on national politics, if want to spend time on national politics than stand for a parliament seat and leave the state seat to others who want to serve and make Selangor a better place to stay

Anybody care to comment  if  agree that that the service sucks
