| Malaysia Airlines to drop word 'pork' from in-flight magazine after social media furore |
| 2019-01-26 |
Articles on restaurants in the Going Places magazine may instead use the words "non-halal" (forbidden in Islam), reported The Malay Mail, and not mention pork dishes available on the restaurants' menu. The issue first came to the fore when a reader in the Muslim-majority country complained that the airline was being insensitive for carrying a picture of a pork dish in its feature on the Curious Kitchen restaurant in the January edition. The article went viral on social media and sparked anger among Muslims who accused Malaysia Airlines of promoting pork. The carrier apologised, but also clarified that the image complained about was actually of Wagyu beef slices and cuttlefish. |
