Jakim blames media, says ‘pretzel dog’ name not the issue
Jakim halal division director Dr Sirajuddin Suhaimee said his words were taken out of context and blown out of proportion by the media.
When contacted by The Star Online on Tuesday, however, he said that Jakim had recommended the name change for “pretzel dog” in order for Auntie Anne’s to receive a halal certification.
He had also said that a Jakim panel had decided not to use such a name.
On Thursday, when met outside the Parliament lobby, Dr Sirajuddin said that the pretzel chain’s application for halal certification had failed due to incomplete paperwork.
He claimed his previous remark on dogs being unclean and that the word “dog” should not be linked to the halal certification, adding that it was a general statement and not specific to Auntie Anne’s case.

Hot dogs ‘must be renamed’ in Malaysia, says religious government body
Food outlets selling hot dogs in Malaysia have been asked to rename their products or risk being refused halal certification.
The Malaysian Islamic Development Department, a religious government body, said it adopted the ruling after complaints from Muslim tourists.
Director Sirajuddin Suhaimee said the name might cause “confusion”.
“In Islam, dogs are considered unclean and the name cannot be related to halal certification,” he said.
Malaysian halal food guidelines say “halal food and halal artificial flavour shall not be named or synonymously named after non-halal products such as ham, bak kut teh, bacon, beer, rum and others that might create confusion,” local media said.
…
The ruling has also garnered ridicule and stirred debate among Malaysians on social media.
“It’s just a name, what does it have to do with whether it’s halal or not? Muslims should be more concerned with ingredients and the way food is prepared,” wrote Eeman Yusof on Facebook.
…
“You can always count on the authorities to make us look stupid,” said another Malaysian Matt Razal.
Another Facebook user said: “Pet shops please rename your dogs as sausages.”
