Genting honoured as Halal Champion of Pahang

Genting Malaysia Berhad, a prominent player in Malaysia’s leisure and hospitality sector, has been named the Halal Champion of Pahang State. This accolade was conferred during the Halal on Track Pahang 2024 launch event held at Dewan Jubli Perak Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, Kuantan.

The award acknowledges the halal compliance of Resorts World Genting’s Jom Makan SkyAvenue and Jom Makan Street Food, with their operations, training, and documentation rigorously assessed by the Pahang State Islamic Religious Council (JAIP). Selected from over 1,500 nominations, Genting Malaysia secured a spot in the Top 10, underscoring its commitment to providing halal-certified dining options.

Spencer Lee, Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Public Relations at Resorts World Genting, expressed pride in the achievement. “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, without doubt, a significant milestone that gives us a firm footing to further expand on our halal offerings at Resorts World Genting,” he said.

Jom Makan’s culinary excellence

Jom Makan SkyAvenue and Jom Makan Street Food have earned a reputation for delivering authentic Malaysian street food. These food courts attract thousands of visitors daily to Resorts World Genting, offering quick service, diverse menu choices, and reasonable pricing.

Signature dishes such as Nasi Briyani, Char Kway Teow, and Naan with Tandoori Set from Jom Makan Street Food, and Nasi Kandar Kari Kambing and Lotus Curry Bun from Jom Makan SkyAvenue, exemplify the rich culinary heritage of Malaysia. Chefs at these outlets meticulously follow traditional recipes, some of which have been preserved in the resort’s archives for over 60 years.

Strengthening halal standards in Malaysia

The Halal on Track Pahang 2024 program aims to strengthen Malaysia’s halal certification through partnerships between JAKIM and JAIP. The initiative focuses on enhancing industry-friendly halal practices, instilling confidence in food products’ compliance with Islamic dietary laws.

The launch event saw the participation of esteemed leaders, including Deputy Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Director General of JAKIM Datuk Dr. Sirajuddin Suhainee, and JAIP’s Islamic Affairs and Government Relations Director Ahmad Syukry Ibrahim.

Genting Malaysia’s recognition as a Halal Champion not only highlights its commitment to excellence in halal food services but also serves as an inspiration for the broader industry to prioritize inclusivity and quality in dining experiences.
