Puchong halal raid nets 6.5 tonnes of chicken allegedly scalded before slaughter, 12 foreign workers held

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 — More than 6.5 tonnes of raw chicken suspected of being processed without complying with Islamic slaughtering requirements and halal certification standards were seized during a raid on a warehouse in Puchong here shortly after midnight yesterday.

Twelve Bangladeshi and Pakistani men, believed to be involved in slaughtering and processing chickens at the premises, were also detained during the operation, codenamed Op Taring Chiller.

Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order Department (JKDNKA) Wildlife Crime Control Bureau/Special Investigation Intelligence (WCB/PSK) commander Datuk Mohd Zaki Ashar said the raid, conducted at 12.40am, uncovered premises suspected of being used to slaughter, process and distribute fresh chicken without valid halal certification.

He said preliminary inspections revealed slaughtering and handling practices that raised serious concerns over compliance with Islamic requirements and the halal status of the products.

“Inspections found that the chickens were believed to have been immersed in hot water until they died before being slaughtered,” he said in a statement today.

The integrated operation was carried out in collaboration with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department, Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim), Department of Environment and Petaling District Health Office.

Mohd Zaki said authorities seized 468 plastic packages containing raw chicken weighing approximately 6,555 kilogrammes, with an estimated value of RM85,400.

Preliminary investigations indicated that the premises had allegedly been operating as a chicken slaughtering, processing and distribution centre for some time, with supplies sourced from several poultry farms around Sepang.

“The processed chicken was believed to have been distributed to customers, including restaurants, grocery shops and supermarkets across the Klang Valley,” he said.

The case is being investigated under Sections 3(1)(a) and 4(1) of the Trade Descriptions (Definition of Halal) Order 2011 and Section 38(1) of the Environmental Quality Act 1974.

The 12 foreign nationals are also being investigated under Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 and Regulation 39(b) of the Immigration Regulations 1963. — Bernama

吉隆坡，10月30日讯——昨天午夜刚过，警方突击搜查了蒲种一处仓库，查获了超过6.5吨生鸡肉，这些鸡肉涉嫌在加工过程中未遵守伊斯兰屠宰要求和清真认证标准。

在代号为“Op Taring Chiller”的行动中，12名据信参与该场所屠宰和加工鸡的孟加拉国和巴基斯坦男子也被拘留。

武吉阿曼内部安全及公共秩序部（JKDNKA）野生动物犯罪管制局/特别调查情报局（WCB/PSK）指挥官拿督莫哈末扎基·阿沙尔表示，凌晨 12 点 40 分进行的突击行动，发现了一些涉嫌用于屠宰、加工和分销新鲜鸡肉而没有有效清真认证的场所。

他表示，初步检查发现屠宰和处理方式存在严重问题，令人担忧是否符合伊斯兰教义以及产品的清真状态。

“经检查发现，这些鸡据信在被宰杀前曾被浸泡在热水中直至死亡，”他今天在一份声明中说。

此次综合行动由雪兰莪州伊斯兰宗教局、马来西亚伊斯兰发展局（JAKIM）、环境局和八打灵县卫生局合作开展。

莫哈末扎基表示，当局查获了468个装有生鸡肉的塑料包装袋，总重约6555公斤，估计价值85400令吉。

初步调查显示，该场所据称已作为鸡肉屠宰、加工和分销中心运营一段时间，其供应来自雪邦附近的几个家禽养殖场。

他说：“据信，这些加工过的鸡肉已被分销给巴生谷各地的顾客，包括餐馆、杂货店和超市。”

该案件正在根据 2011 年《商品说明（清真定义）令》第 3(1)(a) 条和第 4(1) 条以及 1974 年《环境质量法》第 38(1) 条进行调查。

这12名外籍人士也正根据1959/63年《移民法》第6(1)(c)条和1963年《移民条例》第39(b)条接受调查。——马新社
