GENTING HIGHLANDS, Feb 18 (Bernama) — Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom said tabling of the Halal Act in parliament is among the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) entrusted to him.
“The others include five percent development of wakaf land nationwide and the standardisation of Islamic family laws,” he told reporters at a retreat for agencies under the Prime Minister’s Department here Thursday.
Jamil Khir said the retreat was aimed at strengthening strategic programmes to achieve the KPI for this year.
Other KPI targeted were the rebranding of Islam Hadhari, increasing the allowance of KAFA religious teachers and setting up of the Islamic TV station.
The Halal Act would be finalised after discussion by officers from the Islamic Development Department (Jakim), Attorney-General’s Chambers and the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism.
