00:00Theresa Kok does not deserve being investigated by the police for raising concerns over a

00:08proposed halal certification rule, former Law Minister Zayed Ibrahim said, adding that

00:13she had been thrown under the bus by DAP.

00:17Zayed said Kok, who is MP for Suputeh and DAP vice-chairman, had brought up a matter

00:23of public interest that could quickly be resolved with common sense, adding that she should

00:29not be dismissed as a troublemaker.

00:32He urged Muslim leaders not to be emotional when a non-Muslim leader raises a matter like

00:38halal food certification.

00:40Zayed, a former DAP member, also accused DAP Secretary-General Lok Siu Fook of offering

00:47meek support by stating that Kok was merely doing her job as an MP.

00:53Zayed questioned what other ministers from DAP were doing about the matter, adding that

00:59they were loyal followers who could do nothing more than keep quiet.

01:04Kok had called for a review of a proposed rule to require halal certificates for food

01:08establishments that do not serve pork and alcohol, saying the rule would be a burden

01:13for small traders.

01:16Earlier today, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who is also Pakatan Harapan chairman, said

01:21she should have gone through the proper channels and that her remarks were unnecessary and

01:26only complicated the issue.
