Halal Will Never Mean The Same Again
I think I'm gonna enjoy my investment banking class. The prof is crappy and lame enough to keep us awake.

On packaging financial instruments to suit a country's needs...

Prof A: "You think only food need to be halal ah? Investment instruments must also be halal, ok! Maybe next time we will see the MUIS (Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura) sign on all certificates!"

In case you don't get it, Islamic banking is in accordance with Islamic law principles and forbids the collection and payment of interest.

So, you know, Islam, Muslim principles, MUIS (governing body), halal, ha-ha-ha?

Ok, fine. The class thought it was funny when the prof said it. I'm not a dork.
