MBPP Did Not Officially Endorse Table Segregation Practices

The Penang Island City Council (MBPP) has clarified that it did not officially endorse or implement any policy regarding the segregation of tables at food premises. The council issued a warning to a burger stall operator for displaying unapproved halal logo stickers on dining tables, a practice that was not part of any official MBPP guidelines. This action was taken after an investigation into social media claims of segregation at a food outlet.
Investigation into Social Media Claims Prompted Council Action

MBPP initiated an investigation following circulating claims on social media alleging segregation between Muslim and non-Muslim customers at a food outlet located in Jalan Terengganu. The council's statement emphasised that such practices are not permissible at any food premises, public market, or food complex under its supervision.
Unapproved Halal Stickers Used by Burger Stall Operator

During its investigation, MBPP discovered that a new burger stall within a food shop had affixed halal logo stickers to three dining tables. The stated intention behind this action was to prevent customers consuming non-halal food from using these particular tables.
Stall Operator Complied with Council Instructions

Following instructions from the Penang Island City Council, the operator of the burger stall promptly removed all the unapproved stickers. The premises owner has since complied with the council's directive.
