Chitchat 60 Subway branches in Singapore have stopped selling pork

There are signs that American fast food chain Subway may soon be Halal-certified in Singapore.

Local media have reported that the US-based chain has shown interest in obtaining Halal certification for their outlets.

In a tweet on Wednesday (Jan 31) by halalSG - the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore's (Muis) Twitter handle for Halal food & certification queries - it revealed that there have been a few rounds of discussion with the Singapore headquarters regarding Halal certification.

However, it added that "as of now, we have yet to receive any Halal applications from them. So Q at your own risk hor."

In a reply to media queries, Subway said that currently, 60 of its branches have stopped selling pork. It has also released the full list of branches that have made the change on its Facebook page.

The branches include those at Bugis Junction, Causeway Point, Punggol Plaza, Downtown East and Jurong Point.

A check with a branch at Toa Payoh Central saw a sign put up, notifying customers that "this restaurant serves non-pork products"

Among its ingredients, regular bacon has also been replaced with chicken bacon.

However, it is still uncertain if all stores will be affected by the change.

Reactions to the news have been mixed, with some customers bemoaning the loss and threatening to "boycott Subway", while others hoped that they'll still be able to get the regular menu in Singapore.

I hv a way to convince Muslim the truth about Pig that is not pig are dirty eat rubbish as excused not to eat it.

Hear this and it will set you free.

Before you read below Read John 8:32 in the Holy Bible.

It was during the Jewish revolution in AD 66-69 where a fluke Jews named Simon Decobar/dekobar managed free Judea get rid of Romans Empire and self-rule.

Unfortunaely it did not last and only lasted 3 years.

After the Romans Empire managed to restore Judea back to Romans regime again the Romans put up a big pig statue inside the jewish Holy temple.

They did this to humilate the Jews give them a taste of own medicine.

Thereafter the Jews dont eat pigs anymore a sign of respect to God that this animal was humilated by the Romans Empire and never kill a pig for consumption again.

With this version and if Muslim accept this untold story everyone can shared eat porks to their delight.

When enough people boycott Subway, they will realise what a huge mistake it has made. Only 15% of sinkies are muslims. And most of them can't afford Subway anyway.

Islam and christianity are religions influenced by judaism. The jews used arabs and created islam to get their promised land from roman christian rule. But the arabs after conquering jerusalem, with jews as their allies, had other ideas.

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

Ridiculous shit. Everywhere we see F&B fuckers trying to expand their market by making their offerings halal, but alienating a core who enjoys pork.

Will just boycott this shit Subway. Its sandwiches are rubbish anyway.

Negligible. Besides, they can go to McDonalds.
