“…Even though whistleblowing is not specifically mentioned in the Qur'an, the Islamic concept of "Amr ma'ruf nahy munkar" is similar to whistleblowing action since both attempt to defeat injustice in society (Khalid et al, 2015). The importance of reporting or exposing any corruption or wrongdoing is clearly stated in the Qur'an through the concept of "Amr ma'ruf nahy munkar" (Enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong) (Qudus & Fahm, 2021). For example, as stated in Al-Imran, 3:104:…”

Halal food fraud, such as fake Halal logos and adulteration, may happen due to irresponsible manufacturers seeking to maximise profit. Furthermore, Halal food fraud has been increasing over the years in Malaysia, and this issue needs to be considered since it is a major threat to Malaysia's reputation as an international Halal hub. One of the effective measures in reducing Halal food fraud is whistleblowing. In order to encourage whistleblowing, governments have established laws and policies to protect whistleblowers, but a lot of people are still unwilling to blow the whistle due to the retaliation that whistleblowers will face. Factors that may influence this ethical behaviour need to be studied. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to conceptually discuss potential factors (ethical climate types, organisation size, tenure, supervisor status, and religious obligation) that influence employees' intention to be involved in whistleblowing. A research model is proposed, followed by the developing of research hypotheses to test the model. In addition, the study's protocol (detailed plan) is later described. The theory of Ethical Climates will be used to guide this study. Data will be collected through convenience sampling by distributing self-administered questionnaires to 300 employees from Halal food companies in Malaysia. The collected data will be tested using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The findings from this study will help Halal food companies improve their whistleblowing practices. In addition, this study is useful for relevant policymakers to support whistleblowing practices.

“…Yet, to protect society from additional damage, whistleblowing must be done in a responsible manner. According to Qudus and Fahm (2019), to fulfil the obligation of whistleblowing, one must have knowledge before exposing wrongdoing, compassion while engaging in the practise, and patience after the duty has been carried out.…”

Any fraud or wrongdoing that occurs in the halal food industry can have a severe impact on the safety and integrity of halal food products. Whistleblowing is one of the methods that can be used to combat fraudulent halal food and food safety issues. Some illegal, unsafe, or unethical behaviour may not be discovered by top management or Halal authorities. The safety and integrity of Halal food industry depend on the honesty of the food producers. Hence, whistleblowing is encouraged and should be practiced to counter the possibility of Halal food fraud occurrence. The purpose of this research is to determine the level of whistleblowing intention among employees of Halal certified food manufacturing companies and assess the level of factors influencing this intention (attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, perceived organizational support, religious obligation, knowledge, personal cost reporting, personal responsibility, and seriousness of wrongdoing). The survey was collected among 210 of employees of Halal certified food manufacturing companies in Selangor via a structured questionnaire. The results revealed that the level of whistleblowing intention among employees is very good and most means scores of the factors influencing employee’s decision to whistleblow are positive and favourable. The low mean score for personal cost reporting suggests minimal perceived personal costs associated with whistleblowing. Recommendations to implement whistleblowing system as food fraud prevention needs to be explored as employees’ intention was positive. Suggestions are also presented to ensure that reporting any wrongdoing within companies has a positive effect in preventing such incident.

“…Samad et al, 2015) ada dua poin penting mengenai informasi dalam whistleblowing, pertama, sangat penting bahwa informasi dalam kasus whistleblowing, harus ditunjukkan bahwa akan ada kerugian yang diderita orang lain (bertentangan dengan kepentingan umum), dan bukan untuk kepentingan pelapor sendiri dan kedua, informasi Segala perbuatan adalah tergantung niatnya. Sehingga implikasinya adalah bahwa niat seorang whistleblower haruslah baik(Qudus & Fahm, 2018)…”

The respondents of this study were BPK RI auditors from Central Java, with a total sample of 74. The gender variable was divided into two, male and female, while the age variable was divided into under 40 years and over 40 years. The test results show that there are significant differences between males and females regarding their intention to do whistleblowing. The second result is that there is no significant difference between the intention of young auditors and old auditors to conduct whistleblowing.
