The General Operations Force seized 49,048kg of frozen pork and chicken worth over RM2.5 million during a raid on an unlicensed processing facility in the Sri Kulai Industrial Area, according to a report by New Straits Times. The operation, conducted under Op Salju Mega, resulted in the arrest of nine people, including the 30-year-old local owner and eight workers, with ages ranging from 30 to 38.
The facility had been operating for two years without a license to store and process frozen food, and was found to be sourcing raw meat from China, Thailand, and Brazil. Inspections also revealed unhygienic conditions, with pork and chicken stored and handled together. The seizure included two lorries, a car, a forklift, and various meat-processing and cutting equipment. The case is currently being investigated under multiple acts and by-laws.
