Jakim opens probe into chicken videos amid halal concerns
Jakim said the company involved is not a Malaysian halal certificate holder. PETALING JAYA: The Islamic development department (Jakim) has launched an investigation following videos on social media platform Threads of chickens allegedly being processed in unhygienic and potentially non-halal conditions.
"A thorough investigation is being conducted with local authorities regarding the company, which is not a Malaysian halal certificate holder, related to the issue which has gone viral," it said in a statement on its social media accounts.
Putrajaya MP Radzi Jidin was among those who raised concerns about the videos, calling for an investigation into issues including the method of slaughter and halal status of the chickens.
He also submitted a formal complaint to Jakim and notified the office of the religious affairs minister.
"The issue of halal (status) and food safety should not be taken lightly," he was reported as saying by Astro Awani.
