When the National Heritage Department confirmed that the Chinese Soup called Bakkutteh as a heritage food of Malaysia, some Malay politicians and professors opposed the move under the reason that it is unislamic and that the Chinese soup is not 'old enough' to be known as 'heritage'. In this video I take this issue to task using simple Islamic values and the idea of a shared history of the Malay world in the many multifaith Kingdoms of the past in Peninsular Malaysia.
