In Malaysia, when Muslims complain about pig hair paintbrush the government take action. Muslim consumers are protected.
Singapore how?
Here also you can find such pig-hair brush. Got shoes with pig-lining, wallet…..
Muis got advice? Can we touch or not. If cannot touch then Muis should advice sellers to warn consumers appropriately because some of the signs you cannot see until you already touch the shoe or what not

KOTA BHARU: Kerajaan PAS Kelantan menggalakkan suami yang memenuhi syarat mengikut tuntutan Islam untuk berpoligami.
Bagaimanapun, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Kebajikan negeri, Mumtaz Md Nawi, berkata bagi mereka yang tidak memenuhi syarat berpoligami, memadai seorang isteri bagi mengelakkan timbul masalah dalam keluarga.
Beliau berkata, dalam Islam matlamat perkahwinan itu untuk melahirkan zuriat yang berkualiti.
“Di Kelantan kita galakkan berkahwin sama ada perkahwinan itu yang pertama atau kedua bagi yang layak.
“Mereka yang memenuhi syarat (berpoligami) penting luahkan (keinginan) di Mahkamah Syariah dan jangan buat tindakan kahwin di luar negara, tidak mengikuti adab atau saluran yang betul.
“(Ini kerana) daripada perkahwinan akan ada zuriat. Jadi, kita tidak mahu anak atau isteri dinafikan hak mereka,” katanya kepada pemberita selepas majlis sambutan Hari Orang Kelainan Upaya (OKU) Maqarrabun negeri Kelantan yang dirasmikan Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob di Balai Islam di sini, hari ini.
Mumtaz berkata, sebagai galakan sebelum berpoligami, kerajaan negeri menerusi Jawatankuasa Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Kebajikan negeri mengadakan kuliah atau program penerangan pendidikan rumah tangga.
“Dalam hal ini, kita adakan kuliah termasuk motivasi dalam perkahwinan, dasar keluarga mawaddah dan galakan untuk berpoligami bukan dalam bentuk duit tapi memberi ilmu.
“Kalau kamu (suami) tak boleh berlaku adil kahwin satu saja dan kalau (mahu berpoligami) sebagai tempat untuk memuaskan nafsu, itu bukan sasarannya, ” katanya.

Following Fox News’ recent interest in the ‘deep love’ that is intrinsically hidden at the heart of Shias getting tattoos, it really begs the question, what is Islamic and cultural perspective on getting one?
So what is the deal with tattoos anyway? Fox News suggests that for some people, it is a way that people respond to the pressures of war and daily issues. On a cultural level, many people get tattoos for very personal reasons, either to remember a loved one, showing their political and religious affiliations, and many other reasons that fall under such a wide spectrum.
For some, the idea is that “There’s something about the impermanence of life these days that makes it necessary to etch ink into our skins. It reminds us that we’ve been marked by the world, that we’re still alive. That we’ll never forget.” [Tahereh Mafi, Unravel Me]
Islamically, there’s a difference between the opinions on the permissibility of getting a tattoo.
The Sunni school of thought follows the belief mentioned in a hadith, suggesting that “the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) cursed the one who does tattoos, the one who has a tattoo done.” [Bukhari].
Conversely, scholars from the Shia school of thought are generally accepting of it and see no issue with both the one getting the tattoo and the one inking them. For example, Sayed Ali Sistani suggests that, “tattoos are permissible irrespective of whether they are permanent or temporary.” and Sayyid Ali Khamenei, in Practical Laws of Islam, ruling 1220 answered a question about the permissibility of tattoos and said: “Tattooing is not haram.”
That being said, the main issue that stems from getting a tattoo is before all else, the permanence of obtaining one, and the belief that it causes you to alter the creation of Allah (swt). This begs the question, how does that then differ from dyeing ones hair, getting piercings, tanning, braces, amongst other things which all technically change the way in which a person looks? While these are not permanent when done, they can lead to the permanent alteration in pigmentation and the body in general.
Another issue is the said unnecessary infliction of pain, which is also considered to be prohibited by some.
To this, I would like to mention that a majority of tattoo artists would rub the area with numbing lotion that prevents you from feeling anything. It also differs based on the area in which you consider placing it, and your own pain threshold. With this, there are a good many things that people do which cause pain to the body such as waxing, threading and piercings, none of which are considered to be forbidden.
Further to this, the popular belief is that a tattoo prevents water from reaching the skin, thus preventing taharah, or ritual purity, necessary for wudhu. This is incorrect as when getting a tattoo, the ink is deposited below several layers of skin, and so it does not prevent water from reaching the skin.

Due to the recent news of McDonalds Malaysia banning non-halal birthday cakes on their premises, McDonalds spokesman Faz Hussen has clarified on the issue to the local mainstream news.
Mr Hussen said that although McDonalds does not allow outside food on their premises, birthday cakes are an exception. However, birthday cakes brought into the premises have to been halal certified and this practice has been in place since McDonalds received their halal certification in 1992.
He added that as a halal certified food establishment, McDonalds Singapore has to strictly follow the regulations set out under the halal certification to ensure their food complies with halal requirements so that it is permissible for muslims in Singapore to patronize.
During the food preparation process, McDonalds Singapore takes precaution to ensure their food products are not mixed with non-halal certified products.

I’m not a pious Muslim by any means but even I cannot take this……who in their right mind would claim that Prophet Muhammad liked eating lasagna?!
There are so many ways to market your food. You don’t have to resort to this to bolster your sales.
You are just making it confusing for Muslims and making Muslims the laughing stock of others.
