“So I guess, no food for us Muslims. Thank you IKEA, for being so understanding,” he remarked sarcastically in his video.

However, the post quickly drew backlash from netizens, many of whom labelled his response “entitled”.

Man’s post garners backlash from netizens​

Although the man has since turned off comments on his original TikTok, a repost on Instagram attracted widespread criticism.

Some netizens felt he was making an unnecessary fuss, pointing out that IKEA is a business, “not a charity”.

Others argued that while speaking up is valid, religion should not be “weaponised” in this way, especially in a secular society where businesses are not obliged to provide halal options.

Even fellow Muslims joined the criticism, with some accusing him of being “self-entitled” for expecting “the whole world” to cater to his beliefs.

Man calls for ‘consistency’ across outlets​

In a follow-up video on Sunday (31 Aug), the man addressed the backlash he received over his initial complaint.

He argued that the issue lies in the lack of consistency across IKEA outlets, noting that while the Tampines branch serves halal food, the Alexandra outlet does not.

Citing IKEA Singapore owner Ikano Retail’s reported revenue, he questioned why the company could not “afford a halal certificate” or set up “a small kitchen that serves halal food”

He also pointed out that Muslim customers contribute to IKEA’s revenue, yet the company was, in his view, neglecting a portion of its customer base.

Responding to accusations of entitlement, the man stressed that he was not asking for halal food at just any restaurant, but at one where it is already available at another branch.

“For me to ask for halal food is not an entitlement. It is a dietary requirement,” he said.

He went on to highlight that IKEA often speaks about its social responsibilities and involvement in outreach programmes, but in this case was “careless” towards a group of people.

While clarifying that he is not “demanding” halal options, he urged IKEA to “walk the talk” and reconsider its decision.

IKEA responds to complaint​

In response to queries from MS News, IKEA Singapore noted that IKEA Alexandra has been serving Singaporeans for 30 years, helping them “build their dream homes”.

While its Swedish Restaurant and Swedish Bistro at the Alexandra outlet do not currently offer halal-certified meals, customers can find halal options at IKEA Tampines instead.

“With its larger store footprint, IKEA Tampines accommodates a dedicated halal kitchen, serving lines, and other facilities required for halal preparation, and offers a variety of dishes such as baked chicken leg and beef cheek,” a spokesperson said.

It is not just the food. The furniture too are not halal certified.

It is not just the food. The furniture too are not halal certified.

The last I heard, even the toilets at Ikea are not halal-certified. Pork eaters may defecate there, leaving waste products laced with pork and lard in the toilets. This guy should eat at home or at a hawker stall before he patronises Ikea; is he there to shop or eat? Perhaps he is there to just complain!

As stated in the comments...he is weaponising the religion.... very common amongst Mudslimes

Smacks of entitlement.

Easy solution - eat at home.

Problem solved - with no dramas.

And everyone can live peacefully.

Next thing is that vegans will complain that IKEA serves meat

 

[superpower]

Why don't I see Hindu, Buddhist and Taoist vegetarians complaining that Ikea doesn't serve vegetarian food?

There will be no end to this nonsense if people expect all F & B outlets to cater to their 'dietary requirements' on the basis of religion.

 

[ChristJohnny]

Today Halal food
Tomorrow Sharia ....

I never visit Halal food joint ... my do my parts ... how about you?

Race and IQ

Every dept head in my company has to choose a halal eatery for staff lunches as long as there is one Muslim employee in the team.

No wonder so many Moslem are overweight and require PMD to move around. Halaluya diet is not entirely healthy.

This type is a prime candidate for radicalisation, ISD needs to haul his ass in for detention and interrogation. He's a threat to our multi-racial and multi-religious society.

If he's smart enough to be adaptable (a form of intelligence), he can simply eat the chicken and fish and beef dishes, and avoid any pork dishes. If he's stupidly dogmatic and say no, die die can only eat halal certified food, then where does the stupid lie? With him or the religion? Probably both., That's why studies have proven that religiosity and intelligence are inversely correleated.

AI Overview

Yes, many meta-analyses of dozens of studies, some dating back to the 1920s, have consistently found a significant negative correlation between intelligence and religiosity. This means more intelligent individuals tend to report lower levels of religious belief or practice.

If you're smart, you'll renounce religion (any and all religions) and be a self-responsible free-thinker. Instead of blindly following a religion, decide for yourself what's the right way to live life and dare to bear your own consequences for your own chosen actions.

Yep totally!

The people of ancient times were ignorant because there was no science. Hence they turned to the supernatural and believed in gods to make sense of events and phenomenon. So we excuse them. But the people in modern times, despite compelling scientific evidence, still choose to believe in the supernatural. No words to describe them except STUPID!

If Muslim demand Hala food everywhere they go, then I demand pork in Hala food.

Maybe you can find this in china. Best you retire there.

An island is just a pile of dirt. It's the people that give it life. Human lives. And the humans here are from diverse racial groups.
