Malaysia: Buying and Selling
With a Muslim population of more than 60%, the demand for halal foods by Malaysian consumers has increased over the years. Foreign meat (except pork) and poultry plants intending to export to Malaysia must be accredited by the Malaysian Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) and the Department of Islamic Development for halal purposes. In addition to poultry and meat products, eggs and dairy products are now required to be halal certified, as well as all food products and ingredients. Malaysian halal standards are perceived as stricter than those of other Islamic countries, and products with halal certificates are perceived to have added marketing value in Malaysia.
A growing e-commerce marketplace has resulted in major supermarkets offering online services as a convenience to their customers. Moreover, many Malaysian supermarkets are now offering in-store dining facilities.
7-Eleven is the largest convenience store chain operating 24-hour stores. 7-Eleven stores are treated like car race pit stops by children, teenagers and young adults who usually shop for magazines, newspapers, candies, crisps and other snacks, ice cream or other single-serve food and beverages consumed "on-the-go".
