KPDN, Jais investigate case of premises slaughtering non-halal chickens in Puchong
Minister Armizan Mohd Ali said KPDN's jurisdiction over the issue of chicken slaughterhouses in Puchong focused on the aspect of halal marking of products marketed at the retail level.
The Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) and Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) are investigating a chicken slaughterhouse in Puchong for suspected non-compliance with Islamic law. The premises was raided on October 30 and found to be slaughtering chickens after they had died, using an electric water bath with excessive voltage.
Twelve individuals, believed to be Bangladeshi and Pakistani workers, were involved in the slaughter. The authorities will verify if the halal certification on products from the premises was based on genuine sources.
