Islamic religious Council of Singapore (Muis) has warned a cafe, Home Taste Restaurant, which is located at South Bridge Road, in Chinatown for displaying a fake halal logo on its signage.
The matter was first posted on Halal Cafe & Restaurant in Singapore Facebook page, where one of its group members posted a video of the signage.
Zat Rishid wrote, “I would like to report Home Taste, 295 South Bridge Rd. Signage has Halal Sign, but the restaurant has Pork & Alcohol,” along with a video of the restaurant on Tuesday (7 March).

Muis, who found out about the matter from the Facebook post said in a statement, “Our Halal Enforcement Team visited the premises on the same day and informed the restaurant to remove the logo immediately.”
“The team is following up with enforcement action against the restaurant,” it added.
All Singapore Stuff also posted a complaint from one of its contributor, Juliana, who said that she had checked on the MUIS website and found that the restaurant does not own a legitimate halal certification issued by MUIS.
She stressed that it is a fake halal restaurant and hope the authorities can take action against this cafe.
“This is misleading to consumers especially to Muslims tourists may not know any better. Please help raise awareness of this fake halal restaurant and get the authorities to clamp down on such unethical practice,” she complained.
Another Facebook user, Desinta Arisade Halid, posted a picture of the restaurant, saying that on Thursday (9 March) the logo has been removed.

According to The Straits Times, Home Taste’s manager, who refused to be named, said in Mandarin that the logo on the banner was due to a printing error and has since been taken down.
She told ST that it was a misunderstanding and it was not aware of what it was before.

调查K先生健保赔付中断原因 卫生部冀改善索赔评估程序

工人党主席林瑞莲,于上周在国会揭发截肢老人的乐龄健保赔付中途被终止,引起坊间热议,纷纷议论健保索偿最关键的“严重伤残”定义何在。民间的质疑也延伸到即将推行的终身护保,是否在民众最需要的时候,能够及时提供保障。 也是阿裕尼集选区的林瑞莲,惋惜已在去年5月与世长辞的老人K先生,生前饱受后期肾衰竭折磨,也因糖尿病截肢。然而保险单位在复诊时,以K先生仍有“部分”能力自理六项起居活动,取消了他的乐龄健保赔付。随后经辗转上诉才得以续保,可惜他无法享有这份福利,续保不到一月既已离开人间。 林瑞莲对于如何衡量“伤残”的标准,来决定保户是否符合健保索偿资格感到困惑,特别是政府收了上亿元的保费,但是K先生这样的个案却无法享有保障,如果相同情况也发生在即将落实的终身护保,令人难以接受。 针对此事,新加坡卫生部也在昨日(17日)在脸书给与回应,指出K先生在2002年、52岁时,就参与乐龄健保300配套。K先生在2014年9月申请索偿,当时健保赔偿也马上生效,一直赔付到2016年9月。 “K先生健保赔付比保费多” K先生共缴交了3千100元保费,不过他的乐龄健保赔付更多,达到7千500元。 卫生部称,K先生在2016年9月进行定期复诊,医生认为K先生已不符合乐龄健保严重伤残的条件(即六项日常活动中至少三项不能自理),导致乐龄健保停止赔付K先生。直到2017年三月保险单位收到上诉,并重新评估,K先生才得以在4月份重新续保。不过,K先生在5月就离开了人间。 “卫生部将针对2016年9月份,针对K先生的复诊判断,调查有关保险单位和医生,若发现当中有失误,将采取行动对付。”换言之,卫生部也关注何以K先生的健保赔付会中途中断,有意厘清此事,是否涉及保险单位或医生的评估失当。 卫生部称,自2002年推出乐龄健保,已有1万5千名保户从中受惠,保险赔偿大大减轻了他们长期护理的经济负担。随着越来越多保户迈入乐龄阶段,卫生部预期未来因重度伤残的全额索偿将增加。 乐龄健保检讨委员会,也认识到当前的索赔、评估过程可以再改善,也提出数项简化索赔程序的建议,使之对保户更为便利、友善。卫生部强调,这些改善措施也将落实在即将在2020年实行的终身护保。 根据《海啸时报》报导,现今有130万公民参与乐龄健保计划,缴纳超过33亿元保费。但是索偿额只有约1亿3千300万元。 至于终身护保将在2020年落实,凡是30岁以上公民都强制性参与,一直付保费到67岁。40岁以上的乐龄健保保户,也可在2021年后,提升至终身护保,惟并非强制性。
