Mr Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim asked the Minister for Social and Family Development and Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs what are the steps taken by MUIS, independently or together with local agencies or international bodies, to ensure that MUIS halal certificate holders procure from international suppliers that are compliant with MUIS' halal standards.

MUIS' recognition of Foreign Halal Certification Bodies (FHCB) is based on an assessment of their ability to adopt halal standards that are similar or comparable to the Singapore MUIS Halal Standards (SMHS).

MUIS measures the credibility of FHCB through their standing with reputable regional/ international halal authorities and accreditation bodies, such as the Islamic Development Department of Malaysia (JAKIM) and the Gulf Cooperation Council Accreditation Center (GAC).

Earlier this year, MUIS completed a comprehensive review to strengthen the FHCB recognition scheme through enhancements to its policies, processes and governance.

MUIS is committed to maintaining the highest level of halal standards to meet the community's halal consumption needs. MUIS will continue to work closely with its local and international industry partners to develop and maintain a robust ecosystem for a sustainable halal food supply that complies with SMHS.
