It could have been a slow day in the newsroom on 17 September 2018, but whatever the case, The New Paper (TNP) ran a story titled “Food sold in local cinemas not halal certified: MUIS” on Page 1 that day^[1].

The story focused on how Muslim cinemagoers were “upset after learning that none of the four main cinema chains here has (sic) halal-certified counters”.
