Puchong plant processes 40,000 chickens daily, used stunning voltage up to 13 times halal limit, say police

Puchong police have uncovered a shocking operation at a chicken processing plant that processes over 40,000 chickens daily. During raids under Operation Taring Chiller, authorities found the facility using electrical voltage up to 13 times the halal limit, causing live chickens to die before the slaughtering process. The chickens were reportedly sourced from nearby areas like Sungai Sepat, Sungai Pelek, and Sepang, before being processed and distributed to eateries, grocery shops, and business premises in various cities including Damansara, Bangi, Puchong, Cheras, Putra Perdana, and Putrajaya.

The plant's owner, a local man in his 30s, was arrested, and further action will depend on the investigation's outcome. The case is being investigated under multiple laws including the Trade Descriptions Act, the Environmental Quality Act, and the Selangor Islamic Religious Department's guidelines.
