Kalau Bak Kut Teh tidak mendapat persijilan Halal hanya kerana namanya. Bagaimana dengan lain-lain makanan yang setaraf dengannya seperti 'beef bacon', 'turkey ham', 'root beer' dll ..... Disinilah keperluan yang amat mendesak undang-undang, akta, garis panduan dan segala bentuk prosedur diperlukan bagi memberi panduan kepada seluruh masyarakat. Ilmu Islam tidak seharusnya tersembunyi di dalam kitab-kitab fiqah sahaja.
Islam bukan sahaja sempurna tetapi ianya perlu dinampakkan kesempurnaannya.

Halal bak kut teh a boiling issue
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 23 — Beef bacon, turkey ham, halal champagne. These are names that have become part of the Muslim food lexicon in Malaysia.
But the Islamic authorities have drawn the line at halal bak kut teh.
The Malaysian Department of Islamic Development said it would not allow the dish to be certified as halal (permissible to Muslims) if it continues to be called bak kut teh.
Its deputy director Lokman Abdul Rahman told Utusan Malaysia that Muslims might mistakenly believe that the dish in general is now halal as Malaysians know bak kut teh as a herbal soup made with pork ribs.
“My suggestion is that the name be changed to another one, and not be continued to be called bak kut teh for the halal version,” he said.
Halal bak kut teh was introduced for the first time at a food festival co-organised by the Tourism Ministry last weekend.
It was prepared by a Malay hotel chef.
It used chicken, seafood and vegetables as substitutes for pork. It was cooked in the traditional way with Chinese herbs.
