MALAYSIA<br />
• In 1982, the Malaysian government issued regulations making it<br />
m<strong>and</strong>atory for all meat (beef, mutton, veal, <strong>and</strong> poultry)<br />
imported into Malaysia to be halal certified <strong>and</strong> such meat to<br />
originate only from meat plants approved by the Islamic Affairs<br />
Division <strong>of</strong> the Prime Minister’s Department <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Veterinary Services, Malaysia.<br />
• Under the Malaysian regulations, all halal certificates for meat<br />
<strong>and</strong> poultry must be issued <strong>and</strong> signed by an Islamic center<br />
accredited to do halal certification by JAKIM (Jabatan Kemajuan<br />
Islam Malaysia).<br />
• Slaughterhouses for producing such meat <strong>and</strong> poultry products<br />
must also be approved by both Malaysian government agencies<br />
(JAKIM <strong>and</strong> the Department <strong>of</strong> Veterinary Services).
