Invest Selangor and what they do?
T
he world of halal trade is truly an
exciting and fascinating one. As
Muslims, we may take it for granted,
knowing that the products and food we use
and eat are mostly halal in Malaysia.
However, the halal industry globally is
no small fry. We are witnessing a signifi-
cant shift in the global trading industries,
particularly in food, travel, finance, and
cosmetics, among many others. We tend
to forget that Islam is the fastest growing
religion in the world, and as such, will also
become the world’s largest population in
the near future.
Therefore the need for global industries
to cater to Muslims with halal products
and services is a no-brainer.
Even today, Malaysia continues to
promote its strength in providing halal
products and services to the world.
Malaysia wants to be THE global halal
hub, especially among the Asian Pacific
countries.
A step in the right direction are seen
through the upcoming Olympic Games in
Tokyo, Japan. The Muslim World League
(MWL) have been in agreement with the
Japanese government to become the
official supplier of halal meals and other
amenities for all Muslim participants
during the games happening in 2020.
As for Malaysia, great efforts are being
made to promote our halal products
– through our local Small-Medium Enter-
prises (SMEs), to Japanese consumers
through Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Great things are happening with the
halal industry as a whole, and we Muslims
are getting the full benefits of it. No better
time to live than now, I’d say.
