  "summary": "The Selangor State Executive Council has directed local authorities to take immediate enforcement action against unlicensed poultry slaughterhouses in the state. This crackdown targets premises operating without licenses from local authorities and those without certified slaughterers, with the aim of preventing non-halal chicken from entering the state's supply chain. State Islamic Religious Affairs and Innovation Committee chairman Mohammad Fahmi Ngah advised the public, particularly Muslims, to purchase raw or cooked chicken only 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 through the Halal Malaysia Portal at www.halal.gov.my and report any suspected unlicensed poultry slaughterhouses to local authorities or the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais). The Selangor government remains committed to ensuring a steady supply of halal chicken at affordable prices for the people of the state.",
