SHAH ALAM, Nov 7 — The Selangor State Executive Council has directed all local authorities in the state to take immediate enforcement action against unlicensed poultry slaughterhouses.
State Islamic Religious Affairs and Innovation Committee chairman Mohammad Fahmi Ngah said the action would target premises operating without licences from local authorities and those without certified slaughterers.
“Enforcement action must be carried out in accordance with existing laws to ensure that these premises are closed and, where appropriate, demolished.
“This is to prevent non-halal chicken from entering the state’s supply chain, an issue that has raised concerns among Muslims in Selangor,” he said in a statement yesterday.
