  "account": "A video has surfaced showing raw chicken transported in uncovered baskets on a highway, raising concerns about food hygiene and halal compliance. The footage, uploaded by thread user acsoneg02, was recorded along the New Pantai Expressway near Pantai Dalam. The uploader expressed shock at the sight of the chicken being transported without any protection, sold directly to consumers. Following the halal chicken incident, some have chosen to stop eating chicken altogether and are now consuming eggs daily. One user even admitted to slaughtering and processing their own poultry to avoid uncertainty over the handling of the meat. Others have urged the public to avoid purchasing chicken without proper labeling and to opt for trusted halal brands, even if they cost more. Some have called for the vehicle's owner to be identified, suggesting that checks be made to determine whether the registration number belongs to a company or an individual.",
