KPDN, Jais siasat kes premis sembelih ayam tak halal di Puchong

Police and Jais investigated a chicken slaughtering site in Puchong that was found to be operating illegally by using electric shock methods after the chickens died. Kuala Lumpur: The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDN) and the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) are investigating the chicken slaughtering site in Puchong, which is alleged to be non-compliant with Sharia law.

The state's Chief Minister, Armizan Mohd Ali, stated that KPDN's focus in this matter is on the labeling of halal products sold to consumers. According to him, KPDN will verify whether the halal label on the products is genuinely halal, with further developments to be announced as they come. If any false trading is found, action will be taken, he added at a media briefing following the Tealive Sparkling Crafted Tea - Prebiotic Soda launch ceremony.

On November 3rd, Jais reported receiving additional information from the District and Land Office regarding the true owner and manager of the chicken slaughtering site in Puchong that was raided by Jais officials last Friday due to allegations of non-compliance with Sharia law. Jais Chief Shahzihan Ahmad said the site is believed to be controlled by more than one company or entity, based on information obtained from the detained individuals.

During the raid on October 30th, 12 individuals were believed to be Bangladeshi and Pakistani workers carrying out non-Sharia compliant chicken slaughtering, with the slaughter taking place after the chickens died when electric shock methods exceeded the permissible voltage. In other developments, Armizan said the government will continue to monitor the risk of supply chain disruptions due to geopolitical uncertainties in Europe and Western Asia.

This means that the government will continue to coordinate with various parties through existing mechanisms to ensure the national supply chain is not seriously disrupted at this time. He added that the government will use the same coordination model to ensure sufficient supply for the nation's needs throughout the month of Ramadan.

We will activate all available platforms to ensure the public does not face difficulties in obtaining essential supplies.
