SHAH ALAM, Nov 2 — Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has called for stern action, including prosecution, against the operator or owner of a chicken processing plant that recently sparked concern among the Muslim community.
He said local authorities and halal certification bodies must strengthen cooperation in monitoring such premises, conducting investigations and gathering information from the public.
“Halal certification bodies and local authorities must conduct regular inspections to ensure that sensitive operations, particularly those involving health and hygiene, are closely monitored.
“I also urge the relevant parties to consider stern action, including prosecution, based on the findings of thorough investigations,” he said when met at Sekolah Rendah Agama Integrasi (SRAI) in Section 19 here today.
