Former law minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has come out in support of Seputeh member of parliament, Teresa Kok over her remarks on the halal certification issue. • Zaid said Kok, who is also DAP vice-chairman, had brought up a matter of public interest that could quickly be resolved with common sense. • Zaid said this in his X post on Sept 8. • Zaid, a former DAP member, also accused DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook of offering meek support by saying that Kok was merely doing her job as an MP. • Earlier, Kok, who is DAP vice-chairman, had opposed a proposal by the Malaysia Islamic Development Department (Jakim), which would require all food establishments that do not serve pork or alcohol to obtain halal certification. • ---------------------------------- • #NST #NSTTV • visit us at http://www.nst.com.my • our Facebook / nstonline • more news at / nst_online • and also / nstonline
