Although good designs help to communicate the correct information to the viewers, bad designs can also cause confusion to viewers as well.
This is the case for one such signage that was placed outside of a Peranakan restaurant located in Paya Lebar Quarter mall.
Sign Almost “Cheated” TikTok User
In a recent TikTok video shared by @Lunanguyen.hb, she almost got “cheated” by a sign that said “no meat, no lard” while searching for a Muslim-friendly eatery.
She claims that, despite the sign in front of the eatery, they evidently still offered pork in one of their dishes, citing their menu as proof.
@lunanguyen.hb Don’t overlook the signage Muslim friends!
Different Interpretation Of The Sign
The placard reads “no pork lard,” as seen in the video.
The word “no” was on the left, while the terms “pork” and “lard” were at the top and bottom of the signs on the right.
It is worth noting that the word “no” encompassed the region occupied by the terms “pork” and “lard.”
The placement and highlights of the words made it perplexing for many as it can be read as “No pork, No Lard” or simply as “No pork lard”.
According to the comments, it is recommended to look for the Halal certificate issued by MUIS to clarify whether an eatery is Halal-certified or not.
What happened after the tiktok post?
The “no pig lard” notice was removed the next day, according to the same TikTok user, when she returned to the eatery.
@lunanguyen.hb Replying to @clarence18181 Reply to many other comments: If there is nothing wrong why must they remove it? At least it’s misleading.
According to the TikTok user’s caption, they pulled the notice because it was misleading consumers. As far as the incident was derivatively misleading we believe that a little more clarity won’t do any harm especially for consumers.
