The Malaysian Islamic Development Department (JAKIM) has no plans to announce the list of business premises that failed the Non-Compliance Report (NCR) of the Malaysian Halal Certification.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Dr Mashitah Ibrahim said the decision was made to avoid misunderstanding on the Halal status of a particular building.
"The NCR is issued after JAKIM has carried out an inspection and finds that the premises concerned does not comply with conditions specified such as the employees do not wear gloves or aprons, unhygienic and so on," she told the Senate.
She said this when replying to a supplementary question from Senator Datuk Mohammed Najeeb Abdullah who wanted to know whether JAKIM would issue the list of premises that failed the NCR.
