Halal certificate for alcohlic drink !

The Malaysia Islamic Development Department (Jakim) has denied approving the use of the halal logo on alcoholic drinks as depicted on a beer can shown on Facebook and Whats app.
The department's Halal Hub director Hakimah Mohd Yusoff, in a statement, said Jakim had lodged a report on the matter at the Putrajaya police station for investigation.
This followed complaints and information received from the public over a picture of a can of beer with the halal logo on it appearing on the social media.
"We stress here that Jakim has never issued the halal certification or approved the use of the halal logo by the company or on its products. In fact, other products produced at the same manufacturing plant will not be issued with the halal certification or logo even it these are not alcoholic drinks," Hakimah said.
Jakim estimated these activities in line to undermine company reputation.
