The Halal Integrity of Australian Beef and Lamb from Farm to Table

Hi Everyone,

Australia is an impeccable source of halal meat and meat products, being a long trusted supplier of Halal Beef and Lamb to over 100 countries, including the Middle East, Indonesia and Malaysia.

“Halal” is an Arabic word meaning lawful and permitted. It refers to not only adherence to a set of conditions on how the animal is slaughtered and meat processed but also to how the animal is treated while alive. According to Islamic law it must not be mistreated nor has any pain inflicted on it during its lifetime. It must also be provided with enough space to roam, clean water, food and fresh air.

All these conditions are met for Halal beef and lamb production in Australia. The animals graze on lush green pastures and are well cared for. It is a natural way of life for livestock in Australia and animal welfare is regulated by laws enforced by government. These have a positive impact on the consistently high quality of Australian Halal beef and lamb.

A recent study by Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) has revealed that animals raised and processed in a stress-free environment produce better quality meat that are consistent, hygienic, safe and nutritious. These are the beneficial attributes that are permissible for consumption.

Australian Halal beef and lamb are versatile and suitable for Asian and western cuisine, turning out delicious and nutritious dishes each time. With such quality, fresh and tender meat, it takes less time to cook, whether it’s a beef rendang or a spicy lamb stew. All cattle, sheep and goats processed in Australia for the Malaysia market are slaughteredunder the Australian Government Supervised Halal Program by accredited Muslims. This program is administered by the Federal Department of Agriculture in Australia.

Additionally, all processing facilities in Australia employ only registered and trained Muslim slaughtermen from the Halal Certifying Bodies. They also comply with personal hygiene, operational sanitation and animal welfare requirements. These Halal Certifying Bodies are recognised and approved by JAKIM (Department of Islamic Development of Malaysia). The Halal systems and production facilities are regularly audited by internal quality and food safety assurance systems, (Australian and importing country representatives from DVS (Department of Veterinary Services of Malaysia) and JAKIM.

With a population of 16 million Muslims, Malaysia has a growing demand for halal meat and meat products. The meat is certified halal prior to its import into Malaysia. These authorised representatives will confirm the manufacturing process adheres to Halal standards. There are currently 7 Muslim certifying bodies in Australia for Halal certification export to Malaysia. Meat exporters will also need to meet other requirements under Australian regulations prior to export. Every shipment carries a Halal and Health Certificate.

Malaysia stands to benefit from both local demand and strong export opportunities by leveraging increasing purchasing power among consumers in other Muslim markets. These include the Middle East and neighbouring Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim country with a population of more than 200 million.

There are increasing opportunities in Malaysia’s Halal economy. As a member of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC), Malaysia’s Halal certification is globally recognised by all Muslim nations, making it a perfect launch market for exporters. Meat and Livestock Australia recently took part in MIHAS (Malaysia International Halal Showcase), the world’s largest Halal exhibition. It’s a hybrid event from 9 to 12 September, combining virtual and physical exhibition, with halal industry players from around the world. The virtual exhibition will continue till 31 December 2021.

Nearly 30,000 visitors, 28 trade envoys and 2,000 delegates representing the entire Halal supply chain attended MIHAS and the Global Halal Summit in 2019. According to Ms Valeska “Australian Halal beef and lamb work well with Asian and western cuisine, turning out delicious and nutritious dishes each time. With such quality, fresh and tender meat, it takes less time to cook, whether it’s a beef rendang or a spicy lamb stew”. MLA will be conducting a Webinar “Your Trusted Halal Australian Beef and Lamb, from Farm to Plate” this month.

SQUID GAME Di NETFLIX – Kisah Kesan Ketamakan Manusia

Hi Korang,

Sekarang nieh tengah trending sekuel drama Korea SQUID GAME di Netflix yang bermula dari 17th September yang lalu.

Korang bayangkan lah laki ahkak Mr Big pun tau pasal citer nieh dari Tik Tok sebab ramai sangat yang buat review pasal citer nieh, eh kagum plak ahkak di buatnyer hah.

Squid Game ini menceritakan tentang 456 peserta dengan masalah hidup tersendiri direkrut dalam satu siri permainan kanak-kanak yang meragut nyawa.

Antara permasalahan yang dihadapi peserta termasuklah hutang keliling pinggang, menjadi pelarian, mencari rezeki di negara orang dan permasalahan mental.

Hadiah kemenangan keluar hidup-hidup daripada pertandingan tersebut adalah wang tunai lumayan berjumlah 45.6 bilion won (RM161 juta).

Hah, bile dah susah di sua plak dengan option cam nie, ermm majoriti orang akan joinlah kan, yelah setakat main games je kan tapi dia tak tau yang kesemua permainannya meragut nyawa.

Di antara para pelakonnya adalah :

Lee Jung-jae as Seong Gi-hun (No. 456)

Park Hae-soo as Cho Sang-woo (No. 218)

Oh Yeong-su as Oh Il-nam (No. 001)

HoYeon Jung as Kang Sae-byeok (No. 067)

Heo Sung-tae as Jang Deok-su (No. 101)

Kim Joo-ryoung as Han Mi-nyeo (No. 212)

Memang kak lily tengok secara marathon sebab nak tau kesudahan cepat-cepat kan, lepas tuh terbaca plak spoiler ishkk sakit nau ati ni lah.

Bagi kak lily :

Jalan ceritanya straight forward tapi plot twistnyer berbelit-belit kan tapi ada yang kak lily target buat perangai tuh memang betul lah kan. Memang betullah juara tuh keluar hidup-hidup dan dapat duit kemenangan tuh, yang ni kak lily salah sebab aku ingat diorang akan bunuh semua sekali orang yang main game nieh.

Bile episod saling bertukar kita akan nampak watak-watak utama ini berkembang dan masa ni lah korang akan mula suka / menyampah dengan watak-watak tersebut. Mana yg helok, elok nau, mana yang hanat tuh mak oi terkeluar hanatnya weii hahahahhaha. Cuma ramai yang komen cakap citer nieh banyak nau dialog kurang action tapi i dont care i likeee !!

Dan nasib ada ending sebab selalunya citer-citer macam ni kite akan kene fikir kesudahannya, so untuk ini tak delah ahkak ko nieh pening kepala tak tidur malam nak berfikir kan.

Tapi sebenarnya citer ni citer sedihlah bagi kak lily sebab dek kerana duit, kita sanggup jadi pembunuh walaupun terpaksa. Yang miskin sanggup bermati-matian untuk mendapatkannya tapi yang kaya sanggup menengok orang-orang miskin berebut duit demi memuaskan hatinya.

Apa-apa pun, ahkak ko bagi 4.5 / 5 stars sebab ahkak lurvvvv…
