I like that they have a dedicated Muslim mess deck as well, probably for Halal foods.

Given China does have a not insubstantial Muslim population especially in the Hui ethnic group, and the Navy and Liaoning itself likely has a good number of Muslim sailors as well so it's important to respect those aspects of their culture and religion when possible.

It was reported by CCTV that Liaoning has many female Uighur and Kazakh sailors (communication operators). It's a common practice all over China, such as Colleges in Beijing.

As far as I know they don't have halal mess in army (even for those garrisoned in western china). The military don't like you special yourself out of your comrades for no matter what reason be it personal, ethic, or religion. The navy and other more tech sensitive branch are not so strict on this but in case of Liaoning I think it's more of a PR thing. Since this First Chinese Carrier thing has been such a good PR project, they'd want to show off how people from all 56 ethic groups work together defending their mutual motherland (it's such a big ship anyway). Every time the media reported halal mess room was after they introduced some Uighur or Kazakh soldiers (mostly female). And this time it's Malaysian visiting and we know Malaysia is a muslim country so they pick it up again.

Was the ship in Malaysia? If so where were are the aircraft? In the hangar? Or perhaps they did not make the trip. Thank you.

The ship looks pristine.

I believe CV-16 did not make any trip to Malaysia. An article I was reading on ifeng News mentioned that the Malaysian navy chief visited a naval academy afterwards, which suggests that he is on a visit to China and not the ship visiting Malaysia.
