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

A woman was charged Wednesday (25 January) in the State Courts with hurting the religious feelings and harassment of her neighbours at an HDB block in Tampines last year.
Lee Dji Lin, 63, faces one charge of wounding the religious or racial feelings of Marliah Jonet for throwing a piece of raw pork from a lift to outside the victim’s flat at Blk 247 Tampines Street 21 on 18 June 2016. If convicted, Lee faces a jail term of up to three years, or a fine, or both.
The accused also faces two other charges of harassment. One charge alleged that Lee waved a pig-shaped figurine and shouted insults in Malay at one of Marliah’s daughters including “pig, pig, pig, piglet, one by one (your) children die” on 24 April 2016. The other charge alleged that Lee used a bamboo pole attached with a female underwear and swung it towards Marliah’s flat on 14 June 2016.
Lee faces a fine of up to $5,000 for one harassment charge, and a jail term of up to six months, or a fine of up to $5,000, or both for the other harassment charge.
In July last year, Yahoo Singapore interviewed Marliah about the incidents. According to Marliah, Lee had been harassing her family for six years.
Former model Hanis Hussey, Marliah’s sister-in-law, posted a video on YouTube last year allegedly showing Lee being caught in the act.
A woman was seen shouting in the direction of Marliah’s ninth-storey flat from a floor below in the video. She also used a water hose to spray water towards Marliah’s laundry poles. CCTV footage showed the woman throwing a plastic bag allegedly containing pork onto the corridor of Marliah’s flat.
Marliah had reported the matter to the police and other relevant authorities about the incidents. She said that she had also sent an email to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who then referred her matter to the Tampines town council.
Lee was ordered by the court to be remanded for two weeks to undergo psychiatric evaluation. When asked for her response to the court order, the petite and frail-looking Lee claimed that she was innocent.
The case will be mentioned again on 8 February.

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.

I really hope that some form of educational posters are made to inform people to ” DO NOT PLACE UNWANTED PORK ITEMS INTO HALAL SECTION”.
The section just after the orange divider on the left is the NON-HALAL section, these can be placed there and not be inconsiderate.

Hati- hati beli barangan instant…
Pizza ini ada berjual di kebanyakan SuperMarket sekitar Singapura..
Ini dari teman saya sendiri, petang tadi dia beli.
Lebih berhati- hati kepada siapa yang gemar membeli produk instant.
Masalahnya dalam ramuan ada ” pork” tapi diletakkannya juga logo HALAL.
Harap dapat di share.
Translation:
Be careful when buying instant products
This pizza is sold in many supermarkets across Singapore
This is from my own friend, he bought it in the afternoon.
Those who like buying instant goods should be more careful.
The problem is “pork” is listed among the ingredients but the box comes with a “HALAL” label.
Please share this.
