Bak kut teh is believed to have originated from China’s Fujian province. 

Your NLB quote is lifted from multiple source....so the key word is "is believed", not confirmed.

Actually nobody cares about the food originality except the Chinese Malaysian 🤣

Commonsense tell us the labourers were from China, so they brought whatever they liked and learnt from China..😊

[Manthink]

The Muslim Malays in Malaysia are already very generous to accept your Chinese as part of their population, dun keep having the disillusion that u are the origins. You are NOT...full stop.

Errr...your argument lacks clarity - Since when was there "Muslim Malays" in "Malaysia" when the Chinese came centuries ago ?

[Gstalk]

Long before your time, BKT was enjoyed by all races in Malaisai and by all religions. Only when the fanatical Arabs came in and spread their religion, then you know what happened lah.

[sgbuffett]

UMNO is right what, Malaysia is a Muslim country. One should b careful naming the food as heritage.

Is Malaysia a Muslim state? Really I thought it was a secular state with a majority Muslim population

[EvertonDiehard]

Exactly, it is very disrespectful.

UMNO's Muhamad Akmal Saleh is not only disrespectful, he is a racist one-trick pony

Msian kan si lang boliao. Instead of finding ways to make their ringgit strong or get more monies like say sell land, they go and focus on food? No wonder their economy lousy

[Tangsen]

Well I guess we have no worries from our northern neighbours trying to do a "Taylor Swift" like us.

[moonrab]

I think the Chinese in Malaysia should be absolutely respectful of other's Muslim belief. Remember you are not the origins in the country.

I think it is the Pork, that the Malaysian Malay is offended as Heritage food.

[watchfirst9]

Instead fighting for more spots in govt and U
there some .My Chinese thing doing insensitive things.
Like the joker Namewee.

Harmony is build based on respect not unilateral satisfaction

Bak in bak kut teh is not pork. It is meat.

So it can be chicken meat or beef meat.

Understand?

You not hokkien ah

I m Hokkien. The meat is refer to pork. Otherwise u call TER KUT TEH isit ?

Or force all Chinese there convert to Islam 🤣

For your information, Islam came to China long before it came to Malaysia. Stop making a fool of yourself to think that Islam is a Malay religion. It's not.

As defined by the Constitution of Malaysia, Malays must be Muslim, regardless of their ethnic heritage; otherwise, legally, they are not Malay.

I am not interested in whether Malays must be Muslims or not.

I am telling you that Islam is not a Malay religion. Muhammad... yes lots of peepur call themselves that including Cassius Clay, but he's not a Malay. Is that too hard for you to understand?

Tomorrow morning you go to Malaysia and tell every Malay, Islam is not a Malay religion 🤣🤣🤣

For a strange reason which I am trying to know, pork is called 肉 rather than 猪肉 which would be that much more clearer.

肉骨茶 is always made with pork and actually pork with the bone attached... You can of course make it with chicken, beef, or even fish head which Ah Tiong was trying to argue, just to obfuscate.

肉骨茶 can never qualify to be a Malaysian food. It is a Chinese food. Malaysian food has to be Malaysian not Chinese.....or Indian for that matter.

[Oyk]

I don't have to go to Malaysia to say that. I can tell a Malay Singaporean right here and he will agree with me.

Har,  I nvm comes across chicken or beef kut teh in Malaysia..🤭
I think Malay will only think of Pork when mentioned Bsk Kut Teh

[Oyk]

My wife is Indonesian, I can tell u, we know there is a big difference between Malays and Indonesian. Malays are not racist against Chinese, but I cannot say for certain the Indonesian after staying in both countries long enough.

Indonesian is a nationality. You are comparing a race, Malay, with a nationality, Indonesian.

The minister is just playing with words. He damn well know that the recipe for bak kut teh uses pork.

And bkt originated from Fujian. It is a Chinese heritage food and Malaysia has no right to call it a Malaysian food much less a heritage one.

It's like mala. There are mala stalls all over Singapore but it is a Chinese food, not a Singaporean food. We have no right to claim that it is our heritage food.
