The Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) has launched an investigation into a premises in Puchong found to be operating an illegal poultry slaughtering operation that does not comply with Shariah requirements.
According to Jais officials, the facility appears to be managed by more than one company or entity, complicating efforts to identify those responsible for its operation. The department is actively seeking information about the operators and property owners involved in running the establishment.
The discovery of unlicensed slaughtering premises underscores ongoing enforcement challenges in ensuring halal compliance across food production facilities in the state. Jais has indicated it is pursuing all available leads to trace the individuals and organisations behind the operation.
Authorities have not disclosed further details regarding the scale of the operation or how long the facility has been in operation. The department has urged the public to report any information regarding illegal poultry slaughtering activities to assist with investigations.
