How much frozen chicken was seized in Op Chick?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ten containers of frozen chicken were seized in Op Chick.

Ten containers of frozen chicken, believed to have been illegally imported from China, were seized during an operation codenamed Op Chick. This operation, conducted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), targeted a syndicate suspected of circumventing import regulations by bribing authorities at a port in Sabah.
Illegal Importation from China

The seized frozen chicken was reportedly imported from China, bypassing the necessary legal and inspection channels. Preliminary findings indicated that the contents of these containers were falsely declared, preventing them from undergoing the required inspection processes. This suggests a deliberate attempt to evade regulatory scrutiny.
Operation Details and Arrests

Op Chick was carried out by the MACC’s Intelligence Division in collaboration with the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) and the Royal Malaysian Customs Department. The operation led to the arrest of three individuals: forwarding agents and a company manager, all within their 30s to 50s. The MACC is actively working to identify any other parties involved in this scheme.
Investigation and Legal Proceedings

MACC chief commissioner Datuk Sri Abd Halim Aman confirmed the operation and the arrests. The three suspects were presented at the Kota Kinabalu Magistrates’ Court for a remand application to aid in the ongoing investigations. The case is being investigated under Section 17 of the MACC Act 2009, which pertains to bribery offences.
