Genting Malaysia Berhad Conferred Halal Champion of Pahang State Award By JAIP In Kuantan

Malaysia’s leading leisure and hospitality corporation, Genting Malaysia Berhad earned a feather in its cap recently when it was recognised as Halal Champion of Pahang State at the launch of Halal on Track Pahang 2024 at Dewan Jubli Perak Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah in Kuantan. 

The Halal Champion award was conferred following the halal status submission and thorough evaluation of Resorts World Genting-owned-and-managed, Jom Makan SkyAvenue and Jom Makan Street Food’s daily operations, training and documentation by the Pahang State Islamic Religious Council (JAIP)

Genting Malaysia emerged Top 10 out of 1500 halal status nominations. On hand to receive the award from Deputy Prime Minister, Yang Amat Berhormat Dato’ Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was Rajis Othman, Resorts World Genting Internal Halal Chairman and Assistant F&B Manager.

Halal-compliant Jom Makan SkyAvenue and Jom Makan Street Food are Resorts World Genting’s large scale, food court-style eateries offering an assortment of authentic Malaysian street food. Both outlets are popular with the thousands of daily visitors to Malaysia’s mountain top resort for their quick service, abundant choices, and reasonable prices. The Chefs at these outlets prepare dishes to exacting traditional recipes, some of which have been in the resort’s food archives for over 60 years.  

“We are extremely pleased to have been recognised as Halal Champion of Pahang State. This timely award demonstrates Genting Malaysia’s dedication to halal practices in F&B whilst focusing on inclusivity, quality and convenience. This is with no doubt, a significant milestone that gives us a firm footing to further expand on our halal offerings at Resorts World Genting,” said Spencer Lee, Resorts World Genting Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Public Relations.

Halal on Track Pahang is a manifestation of the commitment of the federal and state governments, through collaboration between the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) and the Pahang State Islamic Religious Council (JAIP) in strengthening Malaysia’s halal certification. The program aims to implement industry-friendly approaches that provide necessary support to entrepreneurs to increase consumer confidence of their food products’ compliance to Islamic dietary laws. 

In addition to the Deputy Prime Minister, the event was graced by Director General of JAKIM, Datuk Dr Sirajuddin Suhainee and Islamic Affairs and Government Relations Director, Ahmad Syukry Ibrahim. 

Jom Makan Street Food is famed for its Nasi Briyani, Nasi Goreng Kampong, Naan with Tandoori Set and Char Kway Teow, whilst Jom Makan SkyAvenue offers amongst its more popular specialties, Nasi Kandar Kari Kambing, Nasi Lemak Bungkus, Mi Kari and Lotus Curry Bun.
