Halal is very important in a Muslim life as it is one of obligation that Muslims must follow and observe. In order to follow the obligation, Muslims must know what is halal and what is not. Halal is not just for food, it includes every aspect of Muslim life such as source of income, attire, how food is processed, how the animal slaughtering process follows Islamic rules, and many more. Even though JAKIM (Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia) and other related legal entities have done so many to overcome halal issues such as fake logo on foods, and expired halal certificate but the problems are not yet fully eliminated. Since there are huge numbers of food industries and related organizations hence it is logical for JAKIM that they would not be able to update and disseminate to all Muslim customers which Halal logo is genuine and not expired. Information references and resources of halal certificate must be available online and updated regularly so customers can check the halal status so they can safely consume the foods that they have chosen. Henceforth, QRC-Halal is proposed.
