  • Islamic Agency Says It Is Empowered To Probe ‘Ninja Joe’ Over Confusing ‘P Ramly’ Burger

    Islamic Agency Says It Is Empowered To Probe ‘Ninja Joe’ Over Confusing ‘P Ramly’ Burger

    KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 28 ― The Negri Sembilan Islamic Religious Affairs Department (JHEAINS) has powers under the law to investigate Ninja Joe over an allegedly confusing name for the latter’s pork burger, its senior officer has said.

    The officer, who declined to be named, confirmed that JHEAINS had earlier this week inspected a Ninja Joe outlet in the state following public complaints on the “P. Ramly” burger being confusing, saying that the visit was done even without the presence of the officers from the Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Ministry (KPDNKK).

    “No, (not with KPDNKK) because the Islamic department’s officers have been given the powers as Assistant Controllers of Trade Descriptions,” the senior officer of JHEAINS’ halal management division told Malay Mail Online when contacted yesterday.

    The officer said JHEAINS’ officers holding the position of Assistant Controllers of Trade Descriptions have the “same powers” as KPDNKK officers and can enforce trade description laws ― which are under KPDNKK’s purview.

    “Because halal is part of Trade Descriptions Act 2011, Jakim and the state Islamic councils are the competent authority to certify halal, so based on that, KPDNKK will appoint Jakim and the state Islamic councils’ officers as Assistant Controllers of Trade Descriptions so they can carry out enforcement duties related to halal,” the officer added.

    Jakim is the acronym for federal religious body Malaysian Islamic Development Department.

    The officer did not specify the provision under which JHEAINS officers could be appointed to such positions, but the Trade Descriptions Act 2011’s Section 3 states that the minister may appoint a Controller, Deputy Controller and Assistant Controllers “among public officers”.

    The officer said JHEAINS’ visit to the Ninja Joe outlet was merely an “inspection for clarification and verification” that was done professionally to enforce the Trade Descriptions Act 2011, declining to disclose whether any seizure of evidence was made due to the ongoing matter.

    When asked about the enforcement action on Ninja Joe as a non-Muslim owned business, the officer clarified that it was unrelated to the religious status of the operator.

    “Even those with halal certification, many of them are non-Muslim; this is not an issue of Muslim or non-Muslim, it is an issue of halal or non-halal,” the officer said.

    The officer said that JHEAINS could still probe Ninja Joe despite the latter not claiming to be selling products that are halal, explaining that the ‘halal’ term in the Trade Descriptions (Definition of Halal) Order 2011 extends to phrases that are confusing.

    “It doesn’t hold a halal certificate and it did not claim its product as halal, there are no such issues; the issue is just the use of a confusing name, so when it is confusing, we carry out inspections to see if the matter really happened,” the officer said, referring to Ninja Joe.

    The officer cited the Trade Descriptions Act as the law which JHEAINS officer was investigating Ninja Joe under, specifically citing the Act’s subsidiary regulation of Trade Descriptions (Definition of Halal) Order 2011.

    While the officer did not specify the provision in the 2011 order, its Section 3 makes it an offence to breach a long list of conditions for foods or goods to be either described as halal or described in any other expression to show that they can be consumed or used by Muslims.

    The officer said JHEAINS will be sending its investigation findings to both KPDNKK and Jakim, and may continue taking enforcement action if there are more complaints against Ninja Joe or if new information surfaces.

    When contacted, Jakim’s Halal Hub division director Dr Sirajuddin Suhaimee said the “P. Ramly” burger issue falls under KPDNKK’s jurisdiction.

    “Because it is under the Trade Descriptions Act, it is not under the regulation of Jakim,” he told Malay Mail Online.

    He said Jakim is merely the halal certification body, and is not carrying out its own investigation or coordinating investigations by Islamic departments from other states on Ninja Joe.

    While Jakim and state Islamic departments’ officials can be appointed by KPDNKK to assist the ministry, the state Islamic departments that are probing Ninja Joe will be sending all their findings to KPDNKK, he said.

    Malay Mail Online has contacted Ninja Joe but has yet to receive a response.

    Despite Ninja Joe’s posters on the “P. Ramly” burger clearly stating that it contained pork, several Muslim consumers and the Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia were earlier this week reported complaining about the name’s alleged confusing and disrespectful nature.

    Ninja Joe yesterday published an apology on its official Facebook page, reiterating that it has taken down all posters advertising the “P. Ramly” burger and will be renaming it.

    The burger chain previously told Malay Mail Online that the “P” in the “P. Ramly” burger launched on Hari Merdeka stands for pork, while the word “Ramly” was aimed at paying homage to the iconic Malaysian brand “Ramly Burger” and was unrelated to the late Malaysian artiste Tan Sri P. Ramlee.

  • Mufti Fatris Bakaram: Solat Kaffaratul Baul Bukan Solat Yang Disyariatkan

    Mufti Fatris Bakaram: Solat Kaffaratul Baul Bukan Solat Yang Disyariatkan

    Baru-baru ini saya ditanya seorang kenalan mengenai Solat Kaffaratul Baul, atau di dalam Bahasa Melayunya: Solat Penghapus Dosa Kencing. Jawapan spontan saya kepadanya ialah itu kali pertama saya mendengar tentang solat sunnat bernama demikian.

    Saya cuba mencari sumber atau asal usul kepada solat berkenaan. Usaha saya yang tidak seberapa membawa saya kepada sebuah kitab yang tidak pernah saya kenali sebelum ini, iaitu kitab Khazinah al-Asrar Jalilah al-Azkar. Kitab ini dikarang oleh seorang yang bernama Muhammad Haqqy al-Nazily, dan selesai penulisannya pada tahun 1320H.

    Di antara perkara yang dibicarakan di dalam kitab ini ialah mengenai solat-solat sunnat. Di antaranya ialah Solat Kaffaratul Baul yang terdapat di halaman 38, seperti yang saya lampirkan gambarnya di sini. Terjemahannya adalah seperti berikut:

    “Yang ketiga belas Solat Kaffaratul Baul, iaitu dua rakaat yang dikerjakan selepas Solat Dhuha. Dibacakan dalam rakaat pertama Surah al-Fatihah sekali dan Surah al-Kauthar tujuh kali, dan di dalam rakaat kedua pula al-Fatihah sekali dan Surah al-Ikhlas tujuh kali. (Beliau) berkata, “Barangsiapa mengerjakan solat ini dan diniatkan sebagai kaffarah (penghapus dosa) kencing, maka diampunkan Allah kencing yang telah mengenai tubuh dan pakaiannya”.

    Tidak dinyatakan samasekali di sini siapakah tuan punya riwayat ini yang menyebut tentang fadilat dan kelebihan Solat Kaffaratul Baul. Walaupun bab ini dinamakan oleh pengarang sebagai “Bab Hadith-Hadith Sohih Yang Berkaitan Tentang Solat-Solat Sunnat Bagi Sebab-Sebab Yang Mendatang”, saya tidak pula berjaya menemui kata-kata di atas di dalam mana-mana riwayat hadith, baik sohih, hasan, dhoif, atau malah yang maudhu’ dan palsu sekalipun. Bahkan mencarinya di antara kata-kata para Sahabat Nabi juga tidak saya temui.

    Saya berpegang dengan pendapat jumhur ulama yang menolak pengamalan sesuatu ibadat solat jika tiada sumber riwayat yang dapat dijadikan sandaran. Wallahu a’lam, mungkin ada riwayatnya yang saya tidak jumpa lantaran kekurangan saya sendiri. Tetapi setakat ini, pendirian saya kepada status Solat Kaffaratul Baul ini ialah ia bukan solat yang disyariatkan. Nasihat saya kepada semua ialah hendaknya kita melaksanakan ibadat solat sepertimana yang ada ajarannya daripada Rasulullah. Semoga usaha kita menghampirkan diri kepada Allah mendapat ganjaran kasih sayang dan keridhaanNya.

    Allah jua Yang Maha Mengetahui lagi Maha Luas IlmuNya.

    Walid J. Abdullah: Racism Only Exists When It Is Not Spoken By Them

    It’s funny how some people are so bent on using anecdotes -parliamentarians especially love to talk about their personal experiences – to display the truly multi-racial nature of Singapore, and to prove racism doesn’t exist.

    ‘My son didn’t want to bring a ham sandwich to school to respect his Muslim friends; see, there is no racism!’

    ‘I saw an Indian man calling an ambulance for a Chinese lady, and a Malay dude was the medic. Singaporean multiracialism ftw!’

    ‘I got into the lift and saw a Malay man, and i smiled and had a conversation with him. Only in Singapore do you get this.’ (somehow, speaking in a polite manner to other humans is uniquely Singaporean, and shows racism is absent!)

    —-

    But when these people come across other anecdotes that actually work against their ‘all is hunky dory’ theory, they will find all sorts of excuses to dismiss them.

    ‘Oh, our MP wasn’t being offensive. She just proposed the fence because it was practical. She gets along well with Indian workers, you know. Her suggestion is nothing like Trump’s.’

    ‘Oh, the portrayal of a hijabi as parking attendant in the children’s book is actually a good thing and does not reinforce stereotypes. Exposes children to the hijab. Good job author!’

    ‘The blackface incident was just something light-hearted. Please don’t be so sensitive. We must learn to laugh at ourselves.’

    ‘Yeah he said Malay and Indian workers cannot speak English properly. But that’s not what he really meant. We must look at the context.’

    And, the get-out-of-jail card for when one cannot perform intellectual gymnastics and is forced to admit that an incident is racist:

    ‘Yes, this was racist. But racism exists everywhere else. So be thankful for what you have here.’

    —-

    Yeah, continue telling yourselves that racism doesn’t exist. Continue glorifying your own experiences as the norm, and continue dismissing others’ encounters with racism as anomalies.

  • Malaysia Consumer Group Demands Action Over Pork Burger Named ‘P Ramly’

    Malaysia Consumer Group Demands Action Over Pork Burger Named ‘P Ramly’

    KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 25 ― The Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia (PPIM) has urged the authorities to take action against a restaurant for naming a pork burger “P. Ramly”, claiming it confused the public.

    Malay daily Berita Harian reported today PPIM head Datuk Nadzim Johan as saying that the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry (KPDNKK) should take action because the restaurant’s actions in purportedly “confusing” consumers were an offence.

    “According to the Consumer Protection Act 1999, action can be taken against businesses who give a confusing picture about their goods or services,” Nadzim was quoted saying.

    The poster of the “P. Ramly” burger placed in front of the restaurant at a shopping centre in Damansara, as shown in the Berita Harian report, however, clearly states that the dish has pork.

    “Introducing P. Ramly ― juicy pork patty wrapped in an omelette, fresh lettuce, pickled onions, Thousand Island dressing, chilli sauce & mayonnaise,” reads the poster.

    A restaurant worker was also reported telling Berita Harian that the “P” in the name referred to “pork”.

    However, the newspaper reported two women who claimed that the use of the name “P. Ramly” was confusing, with one of them saying that it appeared to be disrespecting the late artiste Tan Sri P. Ramlee.

    “Even though the spelling is different, but it sounds almost the same. P. Ramlee is a big name in this country,” shopper Nur Alia Abdullah Tahir, 21, was quoted saying.

    Executive Nurhafeezah Che Haludin, 20, reportedly claimed she almost bought the burger because of the poster.

    “The advertisement was placed where people usually walk, as if they want to attract the attention of all consumers, including Muslims. This causes confusion,” she was quoted saying.

    The report came after a brouhaha over the “pretzel dog” name by US pretzel chain Auntie Anne’s for its hot dogs here that were purportedly one of the reasons its application for halal certification failed.
