A scandal has erupted in Malaysia after a syndicate was accused of selling fake halal meat, including horse and kangaroo meat, as certified halal beef for the past 40 years. The scam involved bribing law enforcement officials to allow the smuggling of uncertified meat. The discovery of this fraud has severely damaged the country's reputation as a potential global center for the halal meat market, worth 2.3 trillion dollars. The Muslim community is now calling for a reduction in meat imports due to concerns over the reliability of foreign suppliers. The police have launched a thorough investigation, and the government is contemplating the establishment of a Royal Commission of Inquiry to delve deeper into the scandal.
