Enforcement officers of the Halal Food Control Division at the Syariah Affairs Department, Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA) and the Royal Customs and Excise Department (RCED) confiscated 107.5 kilogrammes (kg) of chicken tails and wings of dubious origin during a joint operation at a retail store in Kampong Sungai Buloh.
The case has been handed over to the RCED. The MoRA said businesses wishing to bring in raw halal meat must first obtain a halal import permit from the Brunei Islamic Religious Council.
The ministry also thanked the public for sharing information on untoward activities to safeguard the interests of the Muslim community in the Sultanate.
The public with complaints and information on violations of the law can contact 7166222 or visit any Halal Food Control Division offices. – Azlan Othman
