Halal activist says he got threats after exposing premises

A halal activist, Naim Malik, has received death threats and intimidation for exposing food premises operating without valid halal certification. Naim, a member of the Pejuang Halal activist group, has been motivated by a fardu kifayah responsibility to protect Muslim consumers who may be misled by terms like "Muslim-friendly" and "no pork, no lard". He has uncovered over 100 restaurants with unverified halal status and expressed concerns about the transparency of the "Muslim Choice" app, which is managed by non-Muslims.
