Mastering Malaysia’s Digital Halal Certification System
Malaysia’s halal certification landscape has undergone a monumental digital transformation. With the implementation of the Manual Procedure for Malaysia Hal Certification (MPPHM 2020) , the halal certification process is no longer a manual, paper-based procedure—it is now a fully structured, compliance-driven digital ecosystem governed by JAKIM (Department of Islamic Development Malaysia).
At the heart of this transformation are two critical online platforms: MYeHALAL and MyHALALINGREDIENT. These systems serve as the official gateways for halal application submission, ingredient verification, documentation management, and certificate lifecycle tracking.
MYeHALAL is the centralized portal for managing halal certification applications—covering new applications, renewals, variations, and certificate downloads. MyHALALINGREDIENT, on the other hand, functions as the backbone of ingredient compliance, allowing companies to verify raw materials, screen suppliers, and ensure that every component in their production chain meets JAKIM’s stringent halal standards.
However, despite the digitization, many companies continue to struggle. Common challenges include:
Repeated system queries due to incorrect data entry
Incomplete or disorganized documentation
Poor raw material ingredient control
Lack of understanding of how MyHALALINGREDIENT integrates with MYeHALAL applications
Frequent application rejections and delays
This training workshop is specifically designed to bridge the critical gap between theoretical halal knowledge and practical system application. Participants will not just learn what to do—they will experience how to do it through guided, hands-on simulations using live system environments.
Whether you are applying for Food Premise (PM) or Food Product (PR) certification schemes, this workshop provides the technical competency, system navigation skills, and compliance understanding necessary to submit error-free applications and maintain continuous halal certification.
Why This Training Is Essential for Your Organization
Halal certification is not merely a regulatory requirement—it is a competitive business advantage in both domestic and global markets. Yet, the journey to certification is often hindered by avoidable administrative and technical mistakes.
This training is crucial because it:
| Impact Area | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Rejection Reduction | Drastically reduces halal application rejections and minimizes unnecessary system queries from JAKIM |
| Regulatory Alignment | Ensures full compliance with MPPHM 2020 requirements, particularly in ingredient control and documentation. This training pairs perfectly with our Halal Competency Training and Halal Awareness Training, which cover the foundational staff competency mandates of MPPHM 2020. |
| Operational Efficiency | Helps companies prepare complete, audit-ready applications the first time |
| Internal Governance | Strengthens your organization’s halal compliance culture and internal control mechanisms. To build a robust system, combine this workshop with our Halal Assurance System (HAS) Training for a complete management framework. |
| Cost & Time Savings | Reduces time spent correcting errors, lowering overall certification and renewal costs |
| Self-Sufficiency | Empowers internal teams to manage halal applications independently, reducing dependency on expensive external consultants |
