SINGAPORE: Following a recent announcement by McDonald’s Malaysia that birthday cakes brought in by customers must be from halal-certified sources, the fast food chain’s Singapore arm also confirmed that only halal cakes are allowed on its premises.
The director of government relations and communications of McDonald’s Singapore, Faz Hussen, told Channel NewsAsia the rule was implemented way back in 1992, when all McDonald’s restaurants in Singapore received halal certification from the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS).
