Kelantan’s Pas-led government announced that all food and beverage businesses must obtain halal certification to renew licenses, sparking criticism for marginalizing non-Muslim businesses. The policy effectively bans non-halal dishes like Bak Kut Teh and roast pork, eroding cultural diversity and contradicting Malaysia’s inclusive identity. Critics argue the move contrasts sharply with the late Tok Guru Nik Aziz’s leadership, which respected non-Muslim practices. The federal government maintains halal certification is voluntary, offering incentives rather than mandates. This policy imposes additional costs on small businesses, including Muslim-owned outlets already adhering to halal standards, raising questions about Pas’ claim of “Pas for All.”
