Muslims are not allowed to consume alcoholic beverages or any dish with pork in it – so don’t insist on buying an alcoholic drink for a Muslim Malaysian. Muslims only consume food that is prepared the Halal way, which means permissible by Islamic law hence why they look for restaurants that are certified Halal, or for food items that were prepared in this manner. Hindus, on the other hand, do not eat beef as they consider the cow to be a sacred animal.
