Prevention of Halal Non-compliance

When using R&D as tools in the Halal:

1. Technology used through research findings shouldprovide solution in creation of Halal assurance throughsystems and processes,

2. certification, audit and monitoring do not only rely on2. certification, audit and monitoring do not only rely onpaper certifications,support on evidence of Halalness are extend deeperthrough robust scientific analytical tests, provenstandardized methods and reference testing materialsderived from R&D findings(Consequently discouraging fraud through bogus halalcertificates, and improved Quality Control through routinetests by monitoring agencies and industrial players)

16

CHALLENGES

1. Lack of skill and expertise2. Public service delivery of Halal certification

needs to be strengthen, inefficientprocesses, unclear guidelines, limitednumber of competent personnel, limitednumber of competent personnel, limitedknowledge in the industry

3. Lack of both shariah and industrial withscientific knowledge

4. Limited innovation and commercializationtechnologies

5. Complexity of manufacturing processes andthe ingredients used

HOW TO OVERCOME HALAL

CHALLENGES THROUGH

18

CHALLENGES THROUGH R&D

CREATING SUSTAINABLE R&D CYCLE

� Effective talent management and human capital,

through attractive scheme to lure external talents, good

infrastructure, from systems which cover monitoring,

inspection and compliance audit, done by government

agencies and sufficient research grant funding (internalagencies and sufficient research grant funding (internal

& external) will result in strategic alliances of R&D

institutions with industry and foreign institutions,

allowing aggressive commercialization and sustainable

income generation.

�The cycle of R&D can then be repeated and

expanded for sustainable growth and self sufficiency.19

PRIORITIZING R&D BY CATEGORIES

� The classification types of products which are

researchable, should be prioritized according to the

1. critical needs,

2. the direct impact and2. the direct impact and

3. consequence

towards the Muslims consumers and countries

alike, and industries.

�This will affect the structure, finance and priority of

the Research works to be considered for the Halal

Fund. 20

PRIORITIZING R&D BY CATEGORIES

Merit on the scope of R&D should be based on several

performance factors related to Halal issues, such as :

1. overcome the unresolved Halal issues in the halal industry 2. identify loop holes in current laws and regulations pertaining to Halal3. New knowledge generated through discovery of methods,3. New knowledge generated through discovery of methods,

application, models published in reputable scientific journals articlesor books)

4. Research findings and knowledge are translated into service products for Halal Awareness such as Halal Training Modules for short term impact and Bachelors Master PhD programmes for long term strategy on education

5. Creation of sustainable job opportunities through whole Halal supply chain – skilled Muslims workers and compliant manufacturers of Halal products 21

HARMONIZATION FROM DIFFERENT STAKE-HOLDERS FOR HALAL INITIATIVES IN R&D

�Good governance, and coordinated efforts among

representatives of Muslim countries worldwide, consisting

of religious scholars, scientists, authorities, policy makers,

consumers, researchers, and industry players.

�Research are needed to create systems, mechanism

and processes that leads to COORDINATION of activities

between different stake holders groups with different

needs, level of knowledge, understanding and

expectations.

24

R&D AND SYARIAH TECHNICAL COMMITTEE

�A mechanism that allow different school of thoughts, for

dialogs and agreed consensus, when developing new Syariah

compliant standards supported by technology

�Research and development, should lead towards improved

policies and strategic systems, that allow to take into immediate

effect, the upholding of the teachings of Al-Quran and protecting

the Maqasid Syariah, at the same time preventing fraud.

�A seamless multidisciplinary integration of joint-effort

volunteerism, feesabilillah and cooperation should be the

ultimate goal25

SUMMARY

High awareness on Halal Issues have alreadystarted Halal R&D efforts worldwide, althoughcoordinated R&D can further be improved, andsustainable cycles of R&D mechanism can beplanned for future Halal ROAD MAP

34

planned for future Halal ROAD MAP

Efforts are made identify Halal ResearchCenters and Institute worldwide, organizations,scientists to begin with, for future engagementand synergistic collaborations

RECOMMENDATIONS

Solving Halal issues with a 3-step plan: 1. Generation of new knowledge gained

through fundamental and applied research;2. the application of this new knowledge2. the application of this new knowledge

disseminated through training; and3. elimination on ignorance, confusion of

Halal requirements and apathy towardsHalal nonconformance by education.
