KUALA LUMPUR: A member of parliament has called on the authorities to disclose the name of the company behind a slaughterhouse raided for breaching halal certification rules.

Putrajaya MP Datuk Dr Mohd Radzi Jidin also called for the investigation into the company to be expedited.

"I am still waiting for the authorities to reveal the name of the company that runs the chicken processing facility raided in Puchong," he said in a Facebook post.

"Chickens were believed to have been processed by being submerged alive in scalding water until they died before being slaughtered."
