Issues Arising : (1) HDC representative did not attend the dialogue and this has cause
En Shukri (MIHAS) to replace them. It also led to many questions by our
Turkish partner.
(2) During the Q & A session, the questions were mostly thrown to the
Turkish Standards Institution. Among those who raise some issues were from
the municipal council, the slaughter house department etc
(3) Due to late arrangements, the collateral items were sent by Emirates cargo
and this has caused the time to be wasted because the custom clearance took
one day and we had to go from one building to another.

Opportunities – the constitution secular, almost everyone disagree if government of Turkey
have halal standard like Malaysia. Almost all guests & speakers agree that is not the
government job to do the halal certification because it is against the constitution and they are
afraid it could not be impartial. If the government proceed with that, there will be a lot of
domestic resistance because secular committee will disagree. The industry agrees that NGO or
private sector should do the halal certification.
The general meaning of halal is non-pork. Few years ago, there was a findings in carbonated
drinks that it contain alcohol, out of 10 carbonated drinks which were tested contained
alcohol. Further to that, when this issue was announce, the sales of carbonated drinks drop to
50%, in which means that the Turkish still concerns about halal. This industry dialogue
coincide with the effort from Turkish Standard Enstitution (TSE) in which in May 2005 they
have announced that TSE is starting a research to produce halal standards and predict that
halal standard will be completed in November 2008. However, many parties including the
Consumer Union disagree that TSE does the standard because the institution is govern by the
government. Turkey needs certification process and standard to protect muslim in turkey.
There is one private company who has express their interest to do halal certification according
to syariah and quality, safety principle in which they will need assistance from
KasehDia/World Halal Forum & the Malaysian government to ensure the process is right and
follow the MS 1500/2004 as reference. However, standard Malaysia will be change
according to Tukish situation. The problem that is faced currently is who or what is the right
body Malaysia to seek for assistance.
If KasehDIa/World Halal Forum & the Malaysian government are unable to support, there is
high possibility they will seek assistance from IFANCA or World Halal Council and it will be
a big lost for Malaysia.
Raw materials – tomato paste is one of the biggest item that Malaysia buy from Turkey.
Other than that is fruit juice. Malaysian consumers think that tomato paste from Turkey is the
best.
Export – palm oil & related products, consumer electric goods etc.
- professional service i.e. expertise, consultant
Halal - Malaysia import goods from Turkey but without the halal certification. This is due to
the reason that Malaysia perceive Turkey as an Islamic country. However, according to the
recent shocking findings such as there is rennet in cheese, and carbonated drinks contain
alcohol, Malaysia should be more careful because not all Turkish products are halal. In order
to secure safety & local consumer rights, Malaysia should support the halal certificate in line
as Malaysian role to be the global halal hub. Not only this will help strengthen their halal
industry using Malaysian expertise but also it could also strengthen Malaysian position as
chairman of OIC.
Another example of company is PINAR which is the biggest food producer in Turkey (meats,
dairy, confectionary) has also expressed their interest to obtain the halal certification from
Malaysia.
