WYWY Says ‘Tainted Pau’ Issue Resolved By James Kon

Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Abd Rahman bin Pehin Khatib Abdullah, the Head of Halal Food Control Section (C) during the press conference.

Bandar Seri Begawan - WYWY Chicken Rice Restaurant yesterday said that with the assistance of Halal Food Control Section, Department of Syariah Affairs under the Ministry of Religious Affairs and a number of government agencies the confusion over the issue of ' Special pau', which was reported to contain pork enzyme, has been resolved.

The incident took place on April 4, 2008.

The owner of the restaurant stressed that all food at the restaurant is Halal and customers can patronise all its restaurant branches without any doubts.

The owner has also apologised to all, especially Muslim customers, about the confusion.

Pengiran Siti Norkarimah binti Pg Anak Hj Hashim, one of the owners, said, "All our ingredients are Halal and come from the local market and why would we be jeopardising our own business by putting in contaminated ingredients."

Meanwhile, in a press statement issued by Halal Food Control Section, Department of Syariah Affairs under the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the department informed that a report concerning the special dumplings sold at WYWY Restaurant on April 4, 2008, discovered an unintended contamination of ingredients.

Due to the finding, the owner who is a Muslim has temporarily ceased to sell the special dumplings starting April 4. However, the special dumplings will be available as soon as the authorities have clarified from their analysis which of the ingredients are contaminated and are not suitable in the making of dumplings. The ingredients will then be replaced.

As a safety measure and to regain the public's trust, both parties from the Halal Food Control section, Department of Syariah Affairs and the owner of WYWY Restaurant have agreed to clean up the utensils of the restaurant in accordance with the Syara' Law.

The cleansing of the utensils has been done in all WYWY Restaurant branches under the supervision of the officers from the Halal Food Control Section on May 16, 2008.

In a press conference at the WYWY chicken rice branch in Sungai Tilong, Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Abd Rahman bin Pehin Khatib Abdullah, Head of Halal Food Control Section, when asked about the contaminated ingredients, said, "It's the responsibility of the laboratory, we have not yet been informed of the ingredients."

As all the ingredients have come from the local market, he said, "Once we get the result, we will take further action." -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

Unintended...Hmmm....Seriously, this thing is rather misleading, and I feel like there are a few missing facts...Like, what do they mean by unintended...The deapartment's mistake or the restaurant itself...hmm...

Anyway, they cleaned they're stuff...So...Wthell...haha

I have faith in the owner...Till I get more facts...Huhu. Besides, the restaurant has been making so good of a progress so far, why would they want to jeopardise they're own business anyway? I've made my research, and I am still searching and reading thru watever I have now...So yeah, I'll write as soon as I find more stuff on this...

And yeah, it still depends on you Muslims out there, don't go if u are still hesitating, mun was was jantah dulu, to stay on the safe side. I on the other hand, refuse to bow to any rumours and stay with the facts. There has yet to be concrete evidence as to the rstaurant is Haram overall and that it was intended by the owner to use any pork ingredient in their pau...

And..and...I want to propose a 6-month D&D celebration dinner...So tell me wat u people thinking yes? Yes.

Bai Bai.
