Trade Descriptions Act 2011 was enforced on 1 January 2012 but yet so far to be tried in court. This is
because there has not been a single case of abuse of halal logo or halal product filed in court under the
provision of this act.
The government is responsible to protect consumers from any form of cheating and misappropriation
of halal products. Therefore, it is imperative for the government to ensure that the present laws are fully
enforced and if there are loopholes in those laws, reviews and amendments must be made. This would
ensure a set of laws that is efficient and effective for the optimization of consumer’s protection to its
utmost level.
