Amirudin calls for stern action over alleged halal breaches at Puchong chicken plant

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.

Also present were Selangor State Secretary Datuk Dr Ahmad Fadzil Ahmad and Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) director Datuk Shahzihan Ahmad, who joined Amirudin in distributing 1,321 food packs under the Nutrisi Selangor (NutriSel) programme.

JAIS seized more than 6.5 tonnes of raw chicken worth RM85,400 during Ops Taring Chiller at a warehouse in Puchong last Saturday (October 31) after finding that the slaughtering process did not comply with Islamic requirements.

Meanwhile, Amirudin also issued a stern warning following the discovery of illicit substances allegedly concealed at an unauthorised place of worship in South Klang during raids conducted by the Selangor Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) from October 13 to 19.

“Immoral or criminal activities must not be concealed behind places of worship. I leave it to the authorities to take firm action, as such conduct is detrimental to society and damages the reputation of religious institutions.

“We cannot hold everyone responsible, but if an incident occurs at a particular location, appropriate action must be taken. No protection will be given to those involved in unlawful activities,” he said.

On October 23, Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said a local man had been arrested to assist in investigations into alleged drug trafficking activities involving an unregistered place of worship in Klang that was used to store drugs. — Bernama

莎阿南，11月2日讯——雪兰莪州务大臣拿督斯里阿米鲁丁·沙里呼吁对一家鸡肉加工厂的经营者或所有者采取严厉行动，包括提起诉讼，该工厂最近引起了穆斯林社区的担忧。

他表示，地方当局和清真认证机构必须加强合作，监督此类场所，开展调查并收集公众信息。

“清真认证机构和地方当局必须进行定期检查，以确保敏感操作，特别是涉及健康和卫生的操作，得到密切监控。

“我也敦促有关各方根据彻底调查的结果，考虑采取严厉行动，包括提起诉讼，”他今天在位于此地第 19 区的 Sekolah Rendah Agama Integrasi (SRAI) 接受采访时表示。

出席的还有雪兰莪州秘书拿督艾哈迈德·法兹尔·艾哈迈德博士和雪兰莪伊斯兰宗教局（JAIS）总监拿督沙兹汉·艾哈迈德，他们与阿米鲁丁一起根据雪兰莪营养计划（NutriSel）分发了1,321份食品包。

上周六（10 月 31 日），马来西亚伊斯兰教事务局 (JAIS) 在蒲种的一个仓库开展“冷藏室行动”，查获了超过 6.5 吨价值 85,400 令吉的生鸡肉，原因是屠宰过程不符合伊斯兰教规。

与此同时，在雪兰莪州毒品刑事调查局 (NCID) 于 10 月 13 日至 19 日进行突击搜查时，发现疑似藏匿在巴生南部一处未经授权的宗教场所的非法物质，阿米鲁丁也对此发出严厉警告。

“不应以宗教场所为掩护进行不道德或犯罪活动。这种行为不仅危害社会，也损害宗教机构的声誉，因此我交由有关部门采取严厉措施。”

他说：“我们不能追究所有人的责任，但如果某个特定地点发生事件，就必须采取适当的行动。任何参与非法活动的人都不会得到保护。”
