Former Education Minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin has urged the relevant authorities to investigate a chicken processing premises in Bandar Tun Razak following concerns over its slaughtering practices.
The issue has raised questions about whether the procedures used at the premises meet Islamic slaughtering requirements, particularly regarding the halal status of chicken products supplied to consumers.
Radzi called for the matter to be examined thoroughly to establish the facts and ensure that food safety and halal requirements are properly observed.
The concerns emerged after a video circulated on Threads showing chickens being processed at a premises believed to be located along Persiaran Mewah, Bandar Tun Razak. The footage appeared to show unhygienic conditions, including floors covered with liquid waste and blood, as well as poultry baskets placed close together in a confined processing area.
Radzi, who is also the Putrajaya Member of Parliament, urged the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) to investigate the slaughtering methods, halal certification status and distribution channels of the processed chickens. He also called for a coordinated investigation involving Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), the Ministry of Health and the Immigration Department.
He confirmed that an official complaint had been submitted to JAKIM’s Director-General’s Office, with the matter also brought to the attention of the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department responsible for religious affairs. Radzi stressed that firm legal action should be taken if any violations are established.
