“May Allah protect us and this country from any danger or threat that deviates from and could undermine the true tenets of our faith and Islamic principles,” he said in a Facebook post following his meeting with Jakim’s top management on Tuesday.
Anwar said the meeting focused on various issues related to Islamic affairs in the country, including the halal sector
“This platform is vital, considering the latest developments, especially regarding the economic prospects of the halal industry both domestically and internationally. It calls for collaboration among federal agencies to enhance Malaysia’s halal industry,” he added.
