UM's Only Non-Muslim Food Stall Ordered To Close

This was just in:

University of Malaya's only non-Muslim-owned food stall situated at its 12th Residential College has been ordered to close.

This is one of the measures taken by the university authorities to make sure all food stalls within the campus are Halal a.k.a. PORK-FREE.

The stall operated by a Chinese couple has been a popular dining spot for Chinese cuisine to the university's NON-MUSLIM community, especially students, due to its cheap price, quality food and good service.

Customers could get a plate of rice for as low as RM3.50 along with 4 choices of vegetable & meat and a cup of Chinese tea.

The public working within the vicinity were also the frequent customers of the stall.

 

I'm sure the university authority's action would spark a series of anger from the university's NON-MUSLIM community.

 

So much for multiracial country.

So much for democratic country.

So much for human rights.

 

THEY ARE VERY, VERY RACIST!!!!

AND

THEY DO NOT RESPECT OTHER RACE'S RIGHTS AT ALL!!!

 

NO FAIR!!!

DAMN!!!

馬大第12宿舍
華人熟食檔接令關閉

(吉隆坡1218日訊)馬大財務處強制推行清真食物,導致馬大第12宿舍唯一華人熟食檔,被令關閉。

馬青教育局主任張盛聞指出,大學應擁有各族傳統食物,但馬大一意孤行推行清真食物,馬大第12宿舍唯一華人熟食檔終于1214日被令關閉,並交由另一間公司經營華人餐。

他說,馬大財務處已委任一間新公司,提供中式餐。

張盛聞今日在馬青總部會議室召開記者會時,發表談話。出席者包括馬青教育局成員鄭錦騁與蔡易樺。

校方強制推行

張盛聞說,馬大于717日發函,勒令終止華人熟食檔營業權。翌日,馬大中華文化協會致函宿舍校長,要求保留華人熟食檔,並于724日獲得宿舍校長支持,事情告一段落。

怎知820日,再接獲宿舍校長函件,勒令盡快關閉。不過,在中華文化協會協助下,校方答應讓熟食檔繼續經營,考慮保留。

張盛聞說,123日,校方再度發函要求該檔必須結朿經營,須于1214日前清理所有物件,否則允公所有物件。

他說,馬青教育局昨天(17日)接獲馬大華裔生投訴后,決定介入此事。

馬青教育局指校方
藉清真食物下禁令

馬青教育局主任張盛聞指出,該局堅決反對馬大校方,以不是回教食物為由,下令關閉華人熟食檔。

他說,據資料顯示,該檔口雞肉來源擁有清真証書,並雇用印尼回教徒佣人熟煮食物,所以符合大學條例。

他指出,馬青教育局無法認同大學,竟有如此苛刻條例管制食堂,令非回教徒在大學無從經營飲食生意。

張盛聞說,馬大第12宿舍擁有14個檔口,其中一個交給華裔經營並不為過。況且,馬大第12宿舍是華裔生最集中的宿舍,人數約600名。

他指出,馬青教育局要求馬大重新讓華人熟食檔,繼續經營,尤其是華裔眾多的第12宿舍。避免在齋戒月非回教徒沒足夠食物供應,而必須到校園外尋找。

讓學生選擇食物

張氏說,大學是容納各族的知識殿堂,應有開放及包容環境,不是為單一族群或單一宗教而服務,因此,馬青教育局要求全國大學檢討食堂條例,允許不同民族食物進入大學,為學生提供選擇。

大學食物應以清潔、營養、口味及價格作標準。

張盛聞建議,由各族學生評估及決定希望獲得哪些食物,並最受歡迎的食堂經營者應獲獎勵,降低租金以降低食物價格。
