Title: Leveraging
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology for Halal Tracking Tag
Abstract: Food consumption
in Malaysia has been frequently debated, neither for the question of its nutrition
nor for the freshness of the food, but for one ultimate concern: HALAL. Recently,
Malaysia’s latest claim to be one of the halal hubs in the world was put
to test due to the unbelievable result of recent raid carried out by the
Malaysia’s authority. The finding was a appalling and unethical as some so-called
halal foods and some of the so-called halal premises do not comply with the
regulation set by the Malaysia’s authority, thus making the food prepared
by this so-called halal premises no longer halal and are consumable by the
Muslims. Stringent inspections were carried out where massive tracking were
involved to link the food product with its processor. The commotion pertaining
to this issue was immense. Muslim consumers in Malaysia began to question
the effectiveness of food tracking in Malaysia’s market. The purpose of this
paper is to propose and to find appropriate solution on halal tag tracking
with real time update mechanism for the usage of end users and for the usage
within the halal hub participants. The RFID tag tracking technology is proposed
in this paper as a tracking tool.
