SINGAPORE - A restaurant secretary who had failed to renew the company's halal certificate forged a new one and showed it to potential customers.
Pung Chee Lai then lied to her boss by telling him the halal application was still being processed and backed this up by showing him a faked email purporting to be from the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis).
The 57-year-old was fined $5,000 on Tuesday after she admitted using the forged email.
At the time she had been working for Pioneer Spring Restaurant and Tuas Point Seafood and Catering, which provided halal food for company functions.
