Kelantan State Committee chairman Hilmi Abdullah clarified that halal certification (SPHM) is mandatory only for businesses serving Muslim customers, not for outlets catering exclusively to non-Muslims. His statement followed criticism over a policy requiring non-Muslim businesses to obtain SPHM if serving Muslims. Hilmi explained that the policy ensures compliance with local laws and promotes the halal industry. As of 2024, 453 premises, including 48 non-Muslim-owned products, have received SPHM certification in Kelantan. Concerns have been raised about the policy potentially overstepping federal jurisdiction, with the Small and Medium Enterprises Association Malaysia calling for a reconsideration of the mandate.
