As a kid growing up in ipoh back in the 80's, it was common sight to see malay muslims drinking kopi/teh and eating (halal food la) in chinese kopitiams.
How far have we fallen.
my opis got many muslim from various country over the years, paki, bangala, egypt, middle east, etc
not the pak guard or labourer type, but exec level.... sometimes we invite them to join makan, etc
initially pick those halal, but eventually found out we can go anywhere also as they dont mind we eat pork drink alcohol, they eat beef, chicken, fish drink coke je
one time we went dimsum, just order vegan for the indian vegetarian dude, chicken and beef for the muslim dude. We ask if he can eat since got pork and all, not halal, the plates probably touched the pork before, etc... this fella says, washed already, as long as he dont eat pork no issue for him.
nowadays only those malays make a big commotion
the indian guy is the most funny, he dont eat beef, but eats waygu steak, says overseas , its ok for him to do so
