Prohibited Food (Beliefs)

by reezal

Malaysia is a country with diverse culture and religion Therefore its important to know the difference in culture and religion when visiting/entertaining Malaysians.Muslims follow the doctrines of the Quran, which forbids alcohol and pork; while for devout Hindus, beef is prohibited, as the cow is considered to be sacred.

Nasi lemak, One of our favourite dish
