Twitter users in Malaysia were amused when ex-Religious Affairs Minister Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri said penguins were "halal" to consume in a tweet on Jan. 25.
Zulkifli was responding to a fellow Twitter user's queries about the potential "punishment" of consuming penguin meat, supposedly from a religious point of view.
The politician from the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) said penguins were "cute and halal".
