In a Facebook post last week, Harith jokingly said his faith was shaken after seeing a menu advertising “Ham Sap Coffee”, because it contained the word “ham”.

His joke follows a controversy surrounding ham sandwiches allegedly lacking halal certification being sold at a convenience store at Universiti Malaya. - FMT
