mamborobert Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Perhaps some more conversant posters in Thai can throw some light on Thai language link below. It would seem that the local Sangha (and others) have today come out strongly against Halal food in CM? Perhaps something to talk to at the next monk talk http://board.postjung.com/944089.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAppletons Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 "The group fears that the construction will have many negative effects on the area, including pollution, waste management and social conflict between the majority Buddhist population and the Islamic practices involved with Halal food preparation." http://www.chiangmaicitylife.com/news/communities-protest-building-halal-industrial-estate-chiang-mai/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daoyai Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 My understanding is they are against the industrial scale halalfood production and all that involves, keep in mind that anything not haram is halal... that is most non animal foods so Roti is not affected, though that bright yellow "butter" they fry them in looks very suspect to me, I pass on them.

Yes I fail to see the connection between the Roti carts on the street and the articles. Just another troll post. I wonder how far this one will go.

TheSiemReaper Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 There's nothing wrong with halal meat - in the scheme of things it's a minor injustice to animals - compared to say, battery farming. And as someone else says; all food that is not haram is halal. They going to ban water, bread, milk, etc. too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNXBKKMAN Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The yellow stuff is Thai margarine. You can get it at any supermarket in the jam section. Locals like it spread on toast and then sprinkled with sugar. I think you can buy it with or without sugar already added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The new meeting held has collated signed documents that will be submitted to the Chiang Mai Governor, expressing the group’s standpoint against the building of a Halal Industrial Estate anywhere in Chiang Mai." I think it's clear from this sentence that this is just about anti-Islamic prejudice. I mean, nowhere in all of Chiang Mai is there a suitable site? Really?

Really?[/size] Probably correct but understandable as there are not too many muslems in CM at present and they have been here generations, they seem to respect diversity and don't make problems. Halal food industial growth would require people to move here from the south and with Asean, maybe from Malaysia and Indo. that would only go one way... shudder.

CNXBKKMAN Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I am only guessing here as I don't know anything about this project but in the past 10 years gulf countries like Kuwait, UAE etc have been investing in agriculture(land) in Thailand to secure food supplies for the future. This halal factory set up may have Arab backers and the produce is for export to Abu Dhabi or wherever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
