  "summary": "The Selangor State Executive Council has launched a crackdown on unlicensed poultry slaughterhouses, directing local authorities to enforce immediate action against these premises. The move is aimed at preventing non-halal chicken from entering the state's supply chain, a concern among Muslims in Selangor. State Islamic Religious Affairs and Innovation Committee chairman Mohammad Fahmi Ngah advised the public to only purchase halal-certified chicken from premises with valid Malaysian Halal Certification (SPHM) issued by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim). The public can check the list of halal-certified premises on the Halal Malaysia Portal and report any suspected unlicensed poultry slaughterhouses to local authorities or the Selangor Islamic Religious Department. The government remains committed to ensuring a steady supply of halal chicken at affordable prices for the people of Selangor.",
