SPRM bongkar sindiket import ayam sejuk beku tak sah di Sabah

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM) has successfully dismantled a syndicate involved in the illegal import of frozen chicken to Sabah, allegedly benefiting government officials at a port in the state. Operation Chick, a joint effort by SPRM's Investigations Department, Customs and Border Protection Agency, and the Royal Malaysian Customs, resulted in the seizure of 10 containers of suspected illegal frozen chicken imported from China.

Initial investigations revealed the containers contained illegal frozen chicken not properly vetted and not following the established procedures. SPRM apprehended three men, aged between 30 and 50, who were believed to be agents and company managers. Further investigation is underway to identify all individuals involved. SPRM spokesperson Abd Halim Aman confirmed the operation and the arrests, stating that the three suspects will be brought before the Kota Kinabalu High Court tomorrow for a remand application.
