    Circulation Of Kwong Cheong Thye’s Sze Chuan Style Spicy Hot Bean Paste With Misleading Cooking Recipe (Photos)

    EDIT: Attached are also screenshots from halalsg twitter account – Official account of the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) on Halal food & certification queries.

    P.S. MUIS do routine and random spot checks on manufacturers in Singapore.

    Dear Customers, we understand that there is a circulation of photos of Kwong Cheong Thye’s Sze Chuan Style Spicy Hot Bean Paste with a misleading cooking recipe that were not conforming to the MUIS standard for Halal food. Our product did not contain any Non-Halal ingredients, however the label containing a recommended cooking recipe was not acceptable by MUIS. It was due to our carelessness that this happened, and we would like to extend our deepest apologies to our Muslim friends.

    We have since done corrective actions in February 2017

    1) Kwong Cheong Thye recalled all Sze Chuan Style Spicy Hot Bean Paste from all supermarkets on 16th February 2017

    2) Kwong Cheong Thye submitted a new label for Sze Chuan Style Spicy Hot Bean Paste to MUIS, conforming to the high standard

    3) Upon approval from MUIS, Kwong Cheong Thye’s Sze Chuan Style Spicy Hot Bean Paste were all back on the shelves of Supermarkets in Singapore by the week of 27th February 2017

    Attached in this post are 2 photos of our product with the new label that are available in the market now.

    Attached in this post are also 2 circulated photos of our product in the old label, which are discontinued wef February 2017.

    Customers who are still holding on to the old bottles of Kwong Cheong Thye’s Sze Chuan Style Spicy Hot Bean Paste may approach us immediately, and we will do a 1-to-1 exchange with you.

    Please be assured that our products do not and will not contain pork.

    We seek your kind understanding in this incident. Kwong Cheong Thye strives to serve our customers in Singapore and globally with products of the highest quality.

    We appreciate if you would share this post with your friends for clarification purposes.

    Thank you.

    HalalHub Consultants Pte Ltd: Fret Not, It’s Halal. (Postings Sent Via WhatsApp, FB And Others)

    Assalaamualaikum wr wb

    There has been some postings sent via WhatsApp, FB and other social media platforms with regard to this item.

    HalalHub Consultants Pte Ltd wish to inform the Muslim community not be alarmed as the item which is Muis Halal certified does not contain pork, insya Allah.

    The word “pork” which is printed on the packaging is merely giving examples of the various dishes which the paste can be used for cooking.

    Examples are like when we purchase a curry powder, and it is printed on the packaging the methods of how to prepare Fish or Chicken Curry (That doesnt mean that inside the curry powder contains fish or chicken meat) It is just an example of what is can be used for cooking.

    Having said this, MUIS also has a very high standard with regard to packagings and labellings of Halal certified products to avoid any confusion. We are sure that the manufacturer will definitely rectify this oversight accordingly.

    We hope that this clarifies the “confusion”

  • Open Letter To Halimah Yacob From Your Neighbours: Others Are Being Inconvenience So That You Can Remain Convenient

    Open Letter To Halimah Yacob From Your Neighbours: Others Are Being Inconvenience So That You Can Remain Convenient

    Dear Halimah,

    Ok, thank you very much, the show has been fun, but please move on now. We are quite upset that you have indicated that you will stay in your Yishun flat instead of moving to the Istana. Please consider the following points:

    1)
    By insisting on staying in your flat in Yishun, you are causing a major inconvenience to your neighbours. Already, 2 parking spots downstairs have been reserved for police vehicles, as well, the constant stream of reporters, and other members of your presidential entourage compete for parking space in an already scarce parking lot. Look at the size of the parking lot, you can see how small it is, it’s not a multi storey parking structure. How and where are we going to park our vehicles? We as locals are being flooded by a deluge of non resident parking in our area, much akin to our locals being flooded by a deluge of FTs.

    2)

    Please dignify the Presidential appointment by residing in the official residence. This is the highest office in the land. All our prior Presidents have accorded it the respect it deserves by residing in the official residence where they easily entertain foreign guests and dignitaries. The residence of the President lends prestige and honour to the position. A HDB flat does not. There is a multimillion $ budget created for the upkeep and maintenance of the Istana. If you are not planning to reside there, then it’s just taxpayer money that is wasted, or do you care at all? Obviously, you are not going to entertain foreign VIP guests in your flat, which means you have to commute every day in your entourage of police outrider bikes and police cars to fulfill your duties at the Istana. For a govt that is harping on productivity and for a supposed Union chief, this does not sound to productive to me, versus staying in the Istana and walking to your appointments. Is this a case of “You can take the Makcik out of the kampong, but you cannot take the kampong out of the makcik?”

    3)

    Already, the Police and other assorted SOs are stopping everyone around the area to ask for their IC and their business. People living in the neighbouring blocks have to go through police questioning every time they leave and return home. Maybe this means nothing to you. But it does mean something to us. You have claimed that your flat was very convenient. That’s great. Others are being inconvenience so that you can remain convenient.

    4)

    If you think that you are being like one of the people by staying in your HDB flat, we want to tell you that the Elected President Non election show was already too much, the show has ended but you are continuing the wayang. In the first place, no heartlanders have a flat the size of yours. Your own husband Mr Mohamed Adullah Alhabshee, said was “as huge as a penthouse”. We all know you obtained your flat by buying 2 units and then tearing the war down between the 2 flats to make a jumbo flat. How many flat dwellers are allowed to do this? How many flat dwellers live in a flat that is as big as yours? They will be lucky to have a flat half the size. And they will receive a letter from HDB lawyers if they went ahead to tear down a common wall between 2 units. Lets be clear on one thing. You have not live like a common HDB flat dweller, you have earned your money the hard way like a common person, and you sure are not like a HDB dweller. So, lets drop the wayang.

    So, for all these reasons listed above, kindly pack up as soon as possible and vacate the premises.

  • Recognisably Malay, Tudung-Clad Lady Experienced ‘Casual Racism’ Likened To Controversial Reserved PE

    Recognisably Malay, Tudung-Clad Lady Experienced ‘Casual Racism’ Likened To Controversial Reserved PE

    I was at the fitness corner at Bishan Park doing my workout and minding my own business when a senior citizen remarked jokingly and loudly, “Halimah coming! Halimah coming!” I was the only ‘Malay’ there.

    I just gave him a smile, and continued my workout. He then went over to his friends who were seated at a bench to my right. They were conversing in a mix of Mandarin and English about the controversial election. The lady in the group commented loud enough for me to hear, “We are multiracial. Multiracial why must reserve the election for them?” The emphasis was on the word “them”.

    To this I turned to her, and quipped to their surprise, “Why don’t you ask our PM Lee? It’s him, not us who came out with this Reserved Election. We never asked for it. Go and ask him, since you’re paying him millions to do his job anyway.”

    The man who previously ‘likened’ me to our President probably because I was recognisably Malay, being tudung-clad and all, feebly attempted to mitigate this potentially touchy debate on ‘race’ by changing the subject, “Aiyah, no holiday. I was hoping for a holiday. Everyone was looking forward to it.” The man continued, “Now if you live there, they ask for your IC.”

    “You stay in the same block as our President?” I asked.

    He replied laughingly, “No. no. Just saying only.”

    The lady, probably taking the cue, then mentioned, “Now like North Korea.”

    I responded, “Well, he kept quiet about his siblings’ allegations of his abuse of power. You go and speak with him lah. Why tell me? I never asked for this. I don’t sit in Parliament.” And I went off for my breakfast.
